About The Mad Foodies
Can I freeze these meals?
No, we do not recommend freezing The Mad Foodies meals. The quality of our meals may be tainted by the freezing and thawing process.
How long do the meals last?
Please see the use by date on your meal. The Mad Foodies meals are cooked using the sous-vide process, which is known for its precision and ability to preserve the natural flavours and nutrients of ingredients without the addition of preservatives or additional flavours and colours. This method also ensures our meals stay fresh for longer, compared to other more traditional methods of cooking.
How do I prepare the meals?
Our meals are super easy to prepare. Simply remove the outer sleeve and place into the microwave. Do not open or pierce film. Heat in microwave for 3 ½ minutes on high. The self-venting film expands as it heats, forming a bubble as food is steamed. Stand for 1 minute and then peel back film, taking care as hot steam will escape. Lastly stir sauce contents and then enjoy!
Please note: The above instructions are based on a 1000W unit microwave. Heating times indicated should be used as a guide only as heating efficiencies of microwaves vary.
What is the CSIRO low-carb diet?
The CSIRO Low-Carb diet is a nutritionally complete and scientifically validated meal plan low in carbohydrates, high in protein and high in healthy (unsaturated) fat.
How are your meals different?
The Mad Foodies meals are science backed low-carb ready meals that have been specifically developed to adhere to the specifications of the CSIRO low carb diet. Unlike many other ready meals, we don’t bulk our meals with rice or pasta. In fact, our meals are created with less than 20g carbs per serve. Additionally, our meals are a good source of protein and low sodium!
