Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat
up more quickly and evenly in microwaveable
ovenware. The different components of the meal may
not require the same amount of time to heat up .
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food
which is piled high. You should therefore distribute
the food so that it is as flat as possible in the
container. Different foodstuffs should not be placed in
layers on top of one another.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable
cover for your container, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
Stir or turn the food two or three times during the
defrosting, heating or cooking time.
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
This will help the food retain more its own distinct
taste, so it will require less seasoning.
