The liquor pouch can be microwaved but we suggest pouring into a jug or bowl before reheating.

Fresh/chilled liquor – Cold liquor will ‘set’ or become jelly like, this is perfectly normal. Open the pouch using scissors and stir gently before pouring the required amount into a saucepan. Heat for 5 minutes on a moderate heat. Stir while heating and do not allow to boil as this will impair the flavour.

Liquor can be microwaved in the pouch. Cut off the top of the pouch using scissors. Stand the pouch on a plate in the microwave and heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir half way through and avoid over heating.

If required, add small amounts of hot water to thin the liquor down during heating.

The mashed potato container can be microwaved. Lightly break up the mash with a fork and loosely replace the lid. Microwave for 5-6 minutes until hot. Stir half way through and avoid over heating. For best results, fluff up the potato regularly during cooking time.
