Product Use and Care

Spoonful of Comfort packages are all about taking care of the person who receives them. Here are a few tips in return about taking care of what comes inside the box.

Freshness Guarantee

Everything from our kitchen is packed to withstand 3 days in transit. Our soups are “blast frozen” to lock in freshness and prepare them for their journey. We wrap each container in a proprietary insulated liner with gel ice packs to keep it food-safe for up to 3 days. Our ice cream is packed in an insulated box with safely contained dry ice to keep pints perfectly frozen until arrival.

When There’s a Shipping Delay

When severe weather events occur, we continue to ship our packages while communicating daily with UPS. Together, we determine what shipping options are feasible (for example, we won’t offer overnight shipping when weather will prevent that delivery).

Please know that Mother Nature can still surprise us. Even if your shipping destination is not impacted by the weather, other hubs and transit routes may affect the overall network. Rest assured, we monitor all shipments to ensure they meet our freshness guarantee.

You will get a shipping number to track your package’s arrival (and we’re watching it, too!). In the unlikely event that it does not arrive within our freshness window, please contact Customer Support for a refund or replacement order.

Soup Packages

Spoonful of Comfort Soups and Mac n' Cheese

Upon receipt, remove from the silver mylar pouch. Freeze for up to 2 months, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or prepare immediately.
If your containers are frozen, let them thaw in the refrigerator for 1-2 days, or immerse the container in cool water for 30-40 minutes. You may also defrost in the microwave. Start by microwaving for 2-3 minutes on defrost setting, then in 30-second increments until fully thawed. These methods are considered safe by the USDA.
To heat, gently pour desired amount into a saucepan (1-2 cups per serving). Warm on medium heat until heated through, stirring (and maybe tasting!) occasionally.
To microwave, pour desired amount into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high, loosely covered, for 1-2 minutes. Stir and carefully test temperature. If needed, microwave in 30-second increments until fully heated through.
The USDA recommends heating soup to 165 degrees for safe consumption.
Refrigerate any leftovers. If you want to save some of your soup or mac n' cheese for later, you can safely refreeze a portion of it. The USDA recommends that thawed food be refrozen within 3-4 days.

Spoonful of Comfort Rolls and Cookies

Rolls and/or cookies are ready to eat!
If you wish, remove from packaging and heat in 350° oven for 5 mins, or until warmed.
A little butter to top the rolls never hurts!
We do not recommend refreezing our rolls or cookies and enjoying them fresh for the best quality and experience!

Pie Packages

How to Enjoy Your Mini Pie Medley

Pies are best enjoyed heated in the oven or toaster oven at 350 degrees for 20-22 minutes. Or, remove the pies from aluminum tins and heat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Pies may be kept at room temperature or refrigerated if desired.
For optimal freshness, enjoy your pies within 5 days or freeze for up to 60 days.
The patterned blue box can be used as a serving tray!
