Microwave Heating Categories
Your microwave has been tested and labelled to meet the government’s voluntary agreement on the
reheating of pre-cooked food.
The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using a relatively
large portion of food (a 1000 gram load, IEC 705) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold in smaller
packs, often about 350 grams.
The government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers, have set up a system
of heating categories to help you choose the reheating time for pre-cooked food.
