Tips on Tuesday: The time of the week,
where your wait staff give you tips on how to take home a little of the magic
that makes Lupita’s so good!
This week, Lupita’s brings you a tip on
how to reheat your take out! Lupita’s loves to offer plentiful portions on our
dishes. So, sometimes, when you come in, you get a box either to save enough
room for dessert or because you just ended up with a little to much of a good
thing. However you end up with leftovers, you now have a box full of a
delicious-something to take to work for lunch the next day or a nice midnight
snack.
First: Store your
food correctly! Proper food storage is key to keeping your food tasting good
the next day. You want to get the food as cold as possible as soon as possible.
Be sure your fridge is 40 °F or below and the freezer at 10 °F or below.
#LupitasProTip : Bring your own containers for
a more eco-friendly and secure way to store your leftovers!
Depending on the
food, reheating can make foods too soggy or too dry.
To make foods more
moist, try reheating with a damp paper towel or sprinkling some water in your
microwave friendly container. This makes the food steam as it reheats
preventing it from being too dry.
For foods that get
soggy, skillet or toaster oven reheating is best. Using medium heat, bring the
food up to 165 °F. Skillet heating is nice for foods like rice and quesadillas.
Toaster oven work nice for all other foods.
With minimal effort,
you can get your Lupita's leftovers to taste nice even after you've left the
restaurant. For more info on the safe handling of foods visit the USDA
Website for the best advice on the proper temperature and storage of food
products.
