In preparing meals for our clients, The Gourmet Guys typically make a week’s worth of food and leave it in their refrigerator—which means we’re not there when the food is served (unless we’re catering, of course). We want to be sure that every meal is at its peak readiness when it’s time to eat, and so we prepare careful directions on how to heat the food. Those directions almost always include a temperature. And we even give you a thermometer, to make it easy to know what the temperature is. Make friends with that thermometer! It will become the most important tool in guaranteeing you eat consistently great food!
