How to Reheat Cheese Rice Balls
General oven guide: These rice balls are fully cooked. Reheat in a preheated 375°F oven until the center reaches 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any product-specific instructions supplied with your order.
- Remove packaging and arrange the rice balls in a single layer on a baking sheet, leaving space between them.
- Heat uncovered, turning gently during reheating. If the outside browns before the center is hot, loosely cover with foil.
- Check the center of more than one rice ball for 165°F. Let stand briefly before serving; the cheese filling will be hot.
You can reheat from frozen or after thawing in the refrigerator. Frozen rice balls take longer; heating time varies with your oven and the quantity. Use the center temperature, not the color of the coating, to check readiness.
Storing Your Rice Balls
Refrigerate or freeze promptly on arrival. Keep frozen portions in the freezer until needed. Thaw in the refrigerator, never on the counter. Reheat only the portion you plan to serve.
Build an Italian Appetizer Platter
Serve the cheese rice balls with warm marinara on the side. Add mini prosciutto rice balls for a savory meat option or mini spinach rice balls for another flavor. Both come in 24-piece packs.
For a different texture on the platter, pair them with our 20-piece potato croquettes, with their soft potato centers and golden coating.
Questions Before You Order
Are mini rice balls and arancini the same thing?
Yes. Arancini are Italian rice balls. This product is our mini classic cheese version, with 24 pieces in each pack.
How many people will one pack serve?
For planning, allowing 3 mini rice balls per person gives 8 appetizer portions from a 24-count pack. Adjust for appetites and the other food you are serving; this is not a full-meal serving estimate.
Can I freeze them for another occasion?
Yes. They are freezer-friendly. Keep the portion you want for later frozen and reheat only what you need.
