How to make it
1
Peel back the film partway to vent. Microwave on HIGH for 2½ minutes, then let rest 1-2 minutes before removing the film. This resting time matters, it lets heat distribute evenly through the chef's sauce and proteins. If your microwave runs hot, start at 1½ minutes and add 30-second intervals. Poultry: 165°F internal. Fish: 145°F.
2
Oven method: Preheat to 350°F. Remove the film, transfer to an oven-safe dish, and cover loosely with foil. Bake 12-15 minutes. CookUnity uses fresh, never-frozen ingredients, avoid overheating, which dulls the chefs' seasoning. Remove foil for the last 2 minutes if you want a slightly firmer finish on proteins.
