REHEATING CHART
As in traditional cooking methods, food reheated in a
microwave oven must always be heated until piping
hot.
The best results are achieved if the food is arranged
with the thicker food to the outside of the plate and the
thinner food in the centre.
Place thin slices of meat on top of each other or inter -
lace them. Thicker slices such as meat loaf and sau -
sages have to be placed close to each other.
When reheating stews or sauces it is better to stir
once to distribute the heat evenly.
Covering the food helps to keep the moisture inside
the food, reduces spattering and shortens the rehe -
ating time.
When reheating frozen food portions follow the manu -
factures instruction on the package.
Food which cannot be stirred, like gratin is best rehe -
ated on 500 W.
Some minutes standing time will make sure the tem -
perature is evenly distributed throughout the food.
