ADVICE FOR COOKING & REHEATING
20
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 (MEDIUM), stir/rearrange
halfway through reheating. Ensure thoroughly reheated
before serving.
Cover with vented microwave clingfilm or suitable lid,
reheat on 50P (MEDIUM). Stir frequently to ensure
even reheating.
Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of
the dish, cover with microwave cling film and reheat
on 70P (MEDIUM HIGH). Turn over halfway through.
NOTE: Ensure poultry is thoroughly reheated, before serving.
Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on
50P (MEDIUM). Rearrange at least once to ensure
even reheating. NOTE: Ensure meat is thoroughly
reheated before serving.

meat pies on 70P (MEDIUM HIGH) and fruit pies on
50P (MEDIUM).

Fire:
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the appliance and keep the door closed in order to
stifle any flames.
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.
Liquids:
Microwave heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling, therefore care has
to be taken when handling the container: Stir liquid prior to and during heating/reheating, let liquid
stand in the oven at the end of cooking.
Never heat liquids in narrow necked containers such as baby bottles, 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 manufacturer’s instructions on the can.
