HEATING OR REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of
food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room
temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed
in a microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap
and vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following table as a guide for reheating
cooked food.
