HEATING/REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, follow these guidelines: Measure the amount of food in order
to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature
food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a
microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe lid or vented plastic
wrap. Remove the cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked
food.
