		Cooking Guide
	REHEATING
GB		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 first 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 off
		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.
	REHEATING BABY FOOD
		BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after
		reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check
		the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40°C.
		BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a
		baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake
		well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully
		check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby.
		Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.
		REMARK:
		Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns.
		Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating.
