REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart
as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room
temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a
temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to
overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating
small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 800 W power while others
should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food
using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities,
or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When
possible, stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To
prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before,
during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during
standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick
into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating
time, if necessary.
