Reheating
•
Do not reheat large-sized foods such as joints of meat, which easily overcook.
•
It is safer to reheat foods at lower power levels.
•
Stir well or turn over during and after cooking.
•
Use caution for liquids or baby foods. Stir well before, during, and after
cooking with a plastic spoon or glass stirring stick to prevent eruptive boiling
and scalding. Keep them inside the oven during the standing time. Allow a
longer reheating time than other food types.
•
Recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes. See the table
below for reference.
