Reheating Instructions for GrandMama's Fish Cakes aka CodFish Ball Poppers

For the best taste and texture, always reheat the FishCakes aka CodFish Ball Poppers to an internal temperature of 165°F. Moderate heat works best! High heat or long reheating times can dry out the fish or make the batter soggy.

Toaster Oven [Recommended]

Best method for restoring that crispy, fresh-fried texture.

•        Preheat toaster oven to 350 - 375°F.

•        Arrange poppers in a single layer on the tray [line with foil for easy cleanup]

•        Heat 8 -10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crisp outside and hot in the center.

Conventional Oven

Best when reheating a larger batch.

•        Preheat oven to 350 - 400°F.

•        Place poppers on a lightly oiled baking sheet in a single layer.

•        Bake 10 - 15 minutes, flipping once, until heated through and crisp.

Microwave [Fastest, but Softer Texture]

Good for a quick bite - expect a softer crust rather than a crispy one.

•        Place a few poppers on a microwave safe plate.

•        Loosely cover with a damp paper towel.

•        Microwave on high for 45 seconds to 1 minute, checking and adding time in 15-second bursts as needed.

Sterno|Chafing Dish [For Serving, Not Reheating]

Sterno is designed to hold already hot food at serving temperature, not to safely reheat cold poppers from scratch.

•        Fully reheat poppers first using the toaster oven or oven method above [to 165°F].

•        Transfer to a chafing pan over the lit sternos to keep warm while serving.

•        Do not rely on sternos alone to bring cold poppers up to temperature, food safety guidelines recommend avoiding extended time between 40°F and 140°F.
