Cooking and Reheating Guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in 
your oven by 1000 W. Meals can be 
brought back to serving temperature 
in just minutes and will taste freshly 
cooked. Always check food is piping 
hot and return to oven if necessary. 
As a general rule, always cover wet 
foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and 
plated meals. 
Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread 
rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls etc. 
The charts on pages 75-89 show 
you the best way to cook or reheat 
your favourite foods. The best 
method depends on the type of food 
you are cooking or reheating.
Remember to stir or turn food 
wherever possible during cooking 
or reheating. This ensures even 
cooking or reheating on the outside 
and in the centre.

When is food reheated?

 

Food that has been reheated or 
cooked should be served “piping 
hot” i.e. steam should be visibly 
emitted from all parts. As long as 
good hygiene practices have been 
followed during the preparation and 
storage of the food, then cooking or 
reheating presents no safety risks. 
Foods that cannot be stirred should 
be cut with a knife to test that they 
are adequately heated throughout. 
Even if a manufacturer’s instructions 
or the times in the chart have been 
followed, it is still important to check 
the food is heated thoroughly. If in 
doubt, always return to the oven for 
further reheating. 

If you cannot find the equivalent 
food in the chart then choose a 
similar type and size listed and 
adjust the cooking time if necessary. 

Plated meals 

Everyone’s appetite varies and 
reheat times depend on meal 
contents. Dense items e.g. mashed 
potato, should be spread out well. 
If a lot of gravy is added, extra time 
may be required. Place denser 
items to the outside of the plate. 
An average plated meal will take 
4-7 minutes on 1000 W to reheat.
Do not stack meals.

Canned foods

Remove foods from can and place 
in a suitable dish before heating. 
Stir food halfway through cooking 
and again at the end of heating.

Soups

Use a bowl and stir before heating 
and at least once during reheating 
and again at the end.

Casseroles

Stir halfway through and again at 
the end of heating.
