How to Defrost Bagels and Muffins
Wrap frozen bagel or muffin in a paper towel or napkin. Microwave at MEDIUM (50%) until just
warm to the touch (about 25 to 45 seconds for one, 40 seconds to 1 minute 20 seconds for two).
Split bagels or muffins and toast, if desired.
How to Defrost Orange Juice or Lemonade Concentrate
Remove one metal lid from 6-once can of frozen juice. Place can upright in oven. Microwave at HIGH
(100%) 30 seconds to 1 minute 30 seconds. Concentrate should be softened but not warm.
Pour into container and stir in cold water as directed on can.
Most convenience foods now include microwave directions, making it easier than ever to enjoy
soups, snacks, beverages, entrees and desserts. The package instructions are usually for HIGH (100%)
for maximum speed and efficiency.
REHEATING
For freshest-tasting results, use power levels recommended in chart.
Pasta, rice and rolls. For leftover rice or pasta, drizzle with 1 tablespoon water per cup and reheat,
covered. To reheat bread rolls or muffins, wrap in paper towel and microwave only until warm to the
touch, not piping hot. Breads heat in seconds; overheating can cause breads to become tough, dry
and hard.
Meats. Medium (
1
/4 inch) slices reheat best. Cover meat with sauce or gravy to protect from drying
out. Meats with sauce should be covered with wax paper to hold in heat. Cover meat slices without
gravy with paper towel.
