ADVICE FOR REHEATING
Oil & Fat:
Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fi re. Stand back when opening the oven
door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-fi lm), opening roasting bags or popcorn
packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
WARNING:
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape and
material of the container.
• To avoid overheating and fi re, spacial care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example,
mince pies, Christmas pudding.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers’ instructions on the can.
Plated meals
Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see

Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger
and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling
fi lm and reheat on MEDIUM (50%), stir/rearrange halfway through
reheating. Ensure thoroughly reheated before serving.
