Wednesday 11/27 Pickups: Reheating Instructions
Trust your meat thermometer when heating as ovens do vary.
Reheating Refrigerated Whole Turkey, and Turkey Breast: Place in pre-heated oven at 325 degrees for approx. 1.5 to 2 hours covered with foil until warmed to internal temp of 135F degrees. Let rest for 10 minutes, remove foil carefully and carve. Turkeys have been fully cooked to 165 degrees per FDA guidelines. When slicing you might see some areas in the whole bird that look pink, this is normal due to the smoking process.
Reheating Refrigerated Whole Brisket: Fill a large pot ¾ full with water. Bring to a boil and place sealed cryovac’d brisket into boiling water. Reduce heat to a simmer for 1 hour. Cut package and slide brisket onto cutting board. Let rest up to 30 minutes before slicing. For a quick proper way to slice a Brisket Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO2SaqxixfQ
Serving Ham: Hams are fully cooked and can be served at room temperature. To do so leave unrefrigerated for up to two hours. If you’d rather serve warmed use a 350 F oven, but because of size and density hams can take approximately three to four hours to get to 135 F. Monitor with your meat thermometer.
Cornbread: Preheat conventional oven to 400 F. While preheating spray supplied pan with vegetable oil spray and then pour in liquid cornbread contents. Bake at 400 F for 40 to 45 minutes. To check doneness, insert toothpick in center and remove. Done when no particulates stick to the toothpick, or when you slide it through your thumb and finger and do not get any liquid residue. The top will be dark which is normal. Let rest at least 15 minutes before cutting and serve with a dollop of Honey Butter.
Tater Tot Casserole: Remove foil lid and plastic liner if present. ½ Pan: bake uncovered 45 mins at 325 degrees. Remove from oven and sprinkle fried onions on top before serving.
Elote Corn, and Mac & Cheese: Place plastic bag into a large pot of simmering water for 30 minutes. Cut bag, and pour into serving container. For Elote sprinkle Cotija cheese, red pepper blend, and cilantro on top before serving. For Mac and Cheese sprinkle breadcrumbs on top to taste and serve.
