REHEATING ADVICE
For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.
Plated meals
Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below.
Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented
microwave cling lm and reheat on the Medium/Low microwave power level stir/rearrange halfway through
reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
Sliced meat
Cover with vented microwave cling lm and reheat on the Medium/Low microwave power level. Rearrange at least
once to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.
Poultry portions
Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling lm and reheat on
the Medium microwave power level.
Turn over halfway through reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated before serving.
Casseroles
Cover with vented microwave cling lm or a suitable lid and reheat on the Medium/Low microwave power level.
Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.
To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food.
e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using the High microwave power level while a lasagne which contains
ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using power level the Medium/Low microwave power level
NOTES:
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be a ected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size,
shape and material of the container.
WARNING: Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting
from the container and may cause burns.
• To avoid overheating and re, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, e.g.
mince pies or Christmas pudding.
• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and re.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the can.
WARNING: The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the
temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.
