Cooking guide
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 +64 to +68 °F
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +41 to +45 °F.
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
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.
