Reheating Tips and Techniques

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER 
WHEN REHEATING COLD FOODS

STARTING TEMPERATURE —

Foods taken from the refrigerator will take longer to 
reheat than foods from room temperature.

Quantity —

One serving heats faster than several servings. When 
heating large quantities, stir food to ensure even 
heating. It is quicker to heat individual plates of food 
than large quantities in a casserole dish.

Plated Dinners —

Arrange foods with the most dense items towards 
the outside of the plate. Cover meats with sauces/
gravies if desired, spread out mashed potatoes or rice 
so it heats more evenly. When assembling plates of 
leftover foods, use foods which have a similar starting 
temperature.

Covering Foods —

Most foods need to be covered with one sheet of 
absorbent paper towel to hold in the heat and prevent 
splattering without steaming. When more moisture is 
desired, cover with plastic wrap.

Heating —

Reheating is usually done on High, however, if food 
has a more delicate texture, like a baked custard, a 
lower power setting should be used. Medium for a little 
longer will be gentler on the food. An average plate 
of food would generally take 1 to 3 minutes to heat 
depending on the density of the food. Place it in for the 
minimum time and add extra heating time if required.
Ensure food is hot by feeling the bottom of the plate in 
the centre. If the plate is cool, food may be warm but 
will lose heat quickly as the plate will absorb the heat 
and taste cold when served.
If food is not heated enough, consumption may cause 
illness.

Elevation —

Elevate pastries and breads on a small plastic rack 
with paper towel under the food to prevent it from 
becoming soggy.

IMPORTANT POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN 
REHEATING FOODS FROM THE FREEZER

VOLUME —

The greater the volume and the more dense the item, 
the longer it takes to reheat. E.g. frozen cake will take 
less time than frozen casserole.

LARGE VOLUME —

Large, dense, frozen precooked foods are best 
thawed on defrost until icy in the centre then heated 
on Medium-High. This prevents overcooking of the 
edges. Stirring is often needed to distribute heat 
evenly.

Commercial frozen foods —

These foods should be removed from their foil 
containers if possible and placed into suitable 
microwave safe containers. If a foil container is used 
in the microwave oven it shouldn’t be more than 4 cm 
high and must not touch the interior of the microwave 
oven. Remove the cover from the tray and replace 
with paper towel or plastic wrap to prevent splattering.

Foods to be served at room temperature —

For best results, defrost for a short time and allow to 
stand to complete thawing, e.g. frozen cake.

Vacuum sealed pouches —

Pierce pouches, bags before heating to allow steam to 
escape. This prevents bursting.

Containers —

Use dishes about the same volume of the food or 
slightly larger to allow for stirring. Remove or release 
snap seal lids other wise they will pop during heating 
and may disfi gure.

Pies and pastries —

Pies and pastries that contain raw pastry and fi lling 
cannot be cooked in the microwave oven. Precooked 
products can be thawed and heated. Place them on 
a sheet of paper towel and elevate on plastic rack 
for best results. For added crispness place under the 
grill or in a hot oven for few minutes. Pastry items can 
become tough and rubbery if overheated, remember 
to allow 5 minutes standing then test before adding 
extra heating time.
