REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take. Use the power levels and reheating
times in the following chart as a guide. The times in the chart consider
liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food
with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook
and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be
more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 90 % power while others should be
reheated using 70 %, 50 % or even 30 %.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a
lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to
heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible,
stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent
eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and
after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We
recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid
overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken – for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is
piping hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating
- to let the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after
reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the
chapter with the safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and
possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages
and stir before, during and after heating.
Reheating Liquids and Food
Use the power levels and times in this table as a guide lines for reheating.
