    1. Ensure haggis is thawed a day before cooking and keep Haggis refrigerated until ready to begin cooking.
    2. Put enough water in a pot to cover the Haggis by approximately 4 inches and bring the water to a boil.
    3. When the water is boiling, place the Haggis in the water and reduce the heat to less than a simmer.
    4. CAUTION: DO NOT LET THE WATER BOIL AGAIN.
    5. Gently heat the Haggis for approximately 1 hour. Haggis must be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) at the deepest section. (Use of a probe thermometer is recommended.) When ready, Haggis will float in the water.

    2. For the next hour every 10-15 minutes, loosen the lid, break up and stir haggis with a spoon to prevent the haggis on the bottom of tray from burning.
    3. Haggis must be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) at the deepest section. The haggis will take 2 hours (approximately) to heat.
