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 1000 W power while others should be reheated using
600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
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rst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o
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 BABY FOOD
BABY FOOD:
Emptyintoadeepceramicplate.Coverwithplasticlid.Stirwellafterreheating!Letstand
for2-3minutesbeforeserving.Stiragainandcheckthetemperature.Recommended
servingtemperature:between30-40°C.
BABY MILK:
Pourmilkintoasterilisedglassbottle.Reheatuncovered.Neverheatababy’sbottlewith
teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and
again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before
givingittothebaby.Recommendedservingtemperature:ca.37°C.
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.
