Any meals that have been stored for you in your freezer should be defrosted in your refrigerator overnight, to be enjoyed at the peak of their flavor. I always leave you with easy to follow reheating instructions for each meal.

Tupperware (zip lock baggies are good too) - maximum dimensions - the 'food drawer' is 6in by 17in by 20in and so the container needs to be smaller (12in by 12in by 6in, according to 2006 and 2007 Running Light). After the initial Tupperware, use shoe boxes, flat rate USPS boxes or other disposable or recyclable containers for 'care package' delivery. The cadets have such limited space that they don't need extra Tupperware! See similar questions...
