POINTS FOR CHECKING

Always check that food is piping hot after reheating in the microwave. If unsure return to oven. Foods will still require a STAND TIME, especially if
they cannot be stirred. The denser the food the longer the stand time.

Instructions/Guidelines

BABIES BOTTLES - CAUTION

After heating by Microwave liquid at the top of a bottle will be much hotter than at the bottom of the bottle and must be shaken thoroughly before checking the

temperature. When testing the temperature of the milk, squirt a little onto your inner wrist. The milk droplets on your skin should feel warm, not hot.

For 250ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 30 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY

For 100ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top and teat. Heat on HIGH Power for 10-15 secs. CHECK CAREFULLY

BREAD – Pre-cooked – Fresh – N.B. Breads reheated by Microwave will have a soft base.
