How to Reheat Several
Different Types of Foods
Together

When heating several different
types of food together, 

 which

should be served hot must be
placed on the oven floor, while
foods which are only warmed

should be placed on the shelf. This
is because microwave energy

enters the oven from the bottom

 Also, it is important to

remember that foods absorb
microwave energy at different
rates. Rates can be affected by the
size of the food, and its starting

temperature.

Place on floor large or 
foods which need 

 

heating, such as leftover tried
chicken, casseroles 

 

 

leftover vegetables, rice   
Place on shelf those foods 
need only be warmed, such as

bakery pies, rolls, muffins 
breads.

Pop popcorn on the microwave
oven floor only. Popcorn 
on the oven shelf will 

 

properly. Use a special 
popcorn accessory or 
labeled for use in 
ovens.
