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+18to+20°Corachilled
foodwithatemperatureofabout+5to+7°C.
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
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using
600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
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.
Heating and standing times
Whenreheatingfoodforthersttime,itishelpfultomakeanoteofthetimetaken-for
future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allowfoodtostandforashorttimeafterreheating-toletthetemperatureevenout.
Therecommendedstandingtimeafterreheatingis2-4minutes,unlessanothertimeis
recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the
safety precautions.
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched o
to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir
after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon
or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
