All of the foods at Feastivities are prepared fresh daily and contain no preservatives. Therefore, we recommend that you eat our foods within two days (of course, certain items such as dips and chicken salads will keep longer). Ask our market personnel which casseroles freeze the best and also feel free to ask about any other item you are not sure about. Remember also that keeping foods in the proper temperature zone is imperative. Keep your foods refrigerated at 40° until you are ready to eat them and never allow them to sit at room temperature longer than three hours.
No. Remove the plastic lid and cover the dish with foil before baking it. As well,the black styrofoam trays that some of our food is packaged in should not be placed in the oven.
How do I rewarm your grilled chicken breasts?
Wrap in foil and rewarm in a 350° oven for about ten minutes. You may also rewarm the chicken in the microwave but be sure not to overdo it or the chicken will be tough.
How should I reheat my twice baked potatoes?
They are best baked in a 350° oven 20-25 minutes or until they are heated through and just starting to brown. If time is limited, you may also heat them in the microwave.
How many servings can I get from your small entree pans? How many from the large 9″×13″ pans?
As a general rule, the small pans serve two to three people. The 9″×13″ pan will serve about eight people or more. When we are helping you plan a menu, it is helpful for us to know if the guest list will include all ladies, all men, or children. These factors will help us determine how much food you need to order.
Count on one and a half pieces per person of two to three items. You don’t want your guests to fill up before dinner. If the hors d’oeuvres are going to be your whole dinner, plan on serving two pieces per person of five to six different things. You may want to have a baked cheese, a crudite tray, a substantial meat (such as beef tenderloin or a honey baked ham with rolls), and serve three additional small pick up items. Remember to choose a complimentary variety of foods, including something vegetarian, a cheese, a meat, a poultry, a seafood, etc.
Can I special order a dinner for eight for tomorrow night?
We always have ample selections in the market that you can choose from, and we could easily accommodate for eight people at any given time. However, we need three days notice if you need great quantities of food or if you would like to make a selection from our “Create a Meal” category.
