ADVICE FOR REHEATING
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.

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, spacial care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example,
mince pies, Christmas pudding.
