Reheat
Converting Recipes from Other Sources
When the recipe is written with a wattage different
than your oven, adjust the cooking time by approxi-
mately 10% per 100 watts, e.g. 6 minutes would be
adjusted by 36 seconds. Alternately, adjust the power
level by one level. If your wattage is higher than the
recipe: (1) Adjust time downward or (2) Adjust power
level downward. If your wattage is lower than the
recipe: (1) adjust time upward or (2) adjust power
level upward (when possible).

One of the most common uses for a microwave oven
is to reheat food. Your Panasonic microwave allows
you to either reheat by placing food into the oven and
you choose the micro power level and length of heat-
ing time or you may reheat automatically by using
the SENSOR REHEAT Pad on your microwave. Fol-
lowing are some directions for reheating pre-cooked
foods from either frozen refrigerator temperature or
room temperature.
General rules for reheating foods by
Micro Power
• Many convenience foods contain heating
instructions on the packaging. It is best to follow
these instructions, being sure to check the wattage
of the oven they used and adjust the cooking time
if necessary (decrease cooking time by 10% for
every 100 watts more powerful your oven is).
• If package directions are not available, follow the
recommendations in the charts on the following
pages.
• All foods must be pre-cooked; raw foods will not
cook through during reheating times and if
consumed may cause illness.
• Do not reheat in foil containers, cans or plastic
containers as incorrect heating times will result.
Place foods into microwave safe bowls or onto
dinner-plates before heating.
• Most foods can be heated on 1100 W but consider
if the food is delicate in structure like baked custard
or you have a large quantity, a lower power level for
slightly longer may be gentler.
• Cover foods with plastic wrap if you require a
steamed effect or leave uncovered for a drier
surface, e.g. Crumbed foods.
Note: when cooking by Sensor Cook all food must
be covered.
• Stir or re-arrange foods during heating as this
will help food heat evenly. Stir after heating and
let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Check temperatures
before adding extra heating time and ensure food is
hot. If food is not heated enough, consumption may
cause illness.
Caution:
Pastry items which have a fi lling that is high in
fat., sugar or moisture will become hotter in the
centre and the pastry may only feel warm. Ensure
you allow it to stand for several minutes before
eating.
