Storage Instructions: Store your frozen portion in freezer (-18°C). To defrost, place portion in a refrigerator (4°C) for approx. 12 hours or until fully defrosted. Reheat and consume within 24 hours of defrosting.

Reheating Instructions: Ensure contents are piping hot all the way through before consuming.

• Microwave: Place contents in a microwaveable bowl and loose cover. Heat on full power for approx. 3-4 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Oven: Replace the container lid with a cover of tin foil and place the portion of paella directly on the middle shelf of oven preheated to 200°C. Heat for approx. 25 mins
• Airfryer: Place contents loosely in a silicone airfryer basket. Preheat the air fryer to 180°C. Place the paella in a single layer in the basket, add a spritz of olive oil, and air fry for about 5-7 minutes, shaking or flipping it halfway through to ensure even heating. 
• Hob: Heat up a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan (1 tsp. per portion) to medium-high. Add in the paella and gently and evenly disperse contents across a non-stick pan. Leave for 3-4 minutes without stirring until a light golden crust starts to form underneath. Flip over the paella in sections and heat through the other side for another 2-3 minutes. Repeat this action until all the contents are heated through and you’ve achieved a desirable crust.
