Allergen statement: ingredients and suppliers can change. If you have a food allergy or intolerance, please check this page before every order and contact us at support@persianmeal.com.au with any questions.

Storage & heating instructions

Keep refrigerated at 5°C or below and always follow the use-by date printed on every pack. To keep meals longer, freeze them at −18°C or below, then thaw overnight in the fridge and heat within 24 hours. Do not refreeze a thawed meal.

All proteins are fully cooked in our kitchen. Heat every meal until it is steaming hot right through (74°C or above in the centre) before serving.

  • Protein skewers (chicken, lamb backstrap, eye fillet)

    One protein pack per serve — the net pack weight is printed on the label and shown on each product page.

    1 min 15 sec – 1 min 30 sec

  • Saffron, barberry or sabzi herb rice

    Stir once at the end so the heat runs through the grain.

    1 min 30 sec – 1 min 45 sec

  • Mixed vegetables and chargrilled potatoes

    Vegetables heat fastest — stop as soon as they are steaming.

    1 min – 1 min 15 sec

  • Complete meal box (protein, rice and sides in one pack)

    Rest for 1 minute, then check the centre is steaming hot.

    2 min – 2 min 30 sec

Tip the contents into a microwave-safe dish before heating — only microwave a pack in its vacuum packaging if that exact packaging is labelled microwave-safe. Times are for an 1100 W microwave. Serve with fresh lime, a side salad, or your favourite fresh herbs.
