WARNINGS:
Oil & Fat:

Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back

when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling
film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands. 

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the
contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

• 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 fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or

fat content, for example, Mince pies or Christmas pudding.

• Canned Potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufactuers’ instructions

on the can.

Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat
these separately, see below.

Place smaller items of

food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods
to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film
and reheat on 50P, stir/rearrange halfway through
reheating. Ensure food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid,
reheat on 50P. Stir frequently to ensure even
reheating.

Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the
dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and
reheat on  70P. Turn over halfway through. NOTE:
Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated, before
serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on
50P. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly reheated before
serving. 

Place pies in a flan dish. Reheat meat pies on
70P and fruit pies on 50P. 

Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid
and reheat on 50P. Stir at least once during reheating.
