One of the most common uses for a microwave oven is to reheat food. Your Panasonic microwave allows you to either reheat by placing food into the oven and you choose the micro power level and length of heating time or you may reheat automatically by using the SENSOR REHEAT Pad on your microwave. Following are some directions for reheating pre-cooked foods from either frozen refrigerator temperature or room temperature.

General rules for reheating foods by Micro Power

•Many convenience foods contain heating instructions on the packaging. It is best to follow these instructions, being sure to check the wattage of the oven they used and adjust the cooking time if necessary (decrease cooking time by 10% for every 100watts more powerful your oven is).

•If package directions are not available, follow the recommendations in the charts on the following pages.

•All foods must be pre-cooked; raw foods will not cook through during reheating times and if consumed may cause illness.

•Do not reheat in foil containers, cans or plastic containers as incorrect heating times will result. Place foods into microwave safe bowls or onto dinner-plates before heating.

•Most foods can be heated on P10 but consider if the food is delicate in structure like baked custard or you have a large quantity, a lower power level for slightly longer may be gentler.

•Cover foods with plastic wrap if you require a steamed effect or leave uncovered for a drier surface, e.g. Crumbed foods.

Note: when cooking by Sensor Cook all food must be covered.

•Stir or re-arrange foods during heating as this will help food heat evenly. Stir after heating and let stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Check temperatures before adding extra heating time and ensure food is hot. If food is not heated enough, consumption may cause illness.

Caution:

Pastry items which have a filling that is high in fat., sugar or moisture will become hotter in the centre and the pastry may only feel warm. Ensure you allow it to stand for several minutes before eating.

Reheating by Sensor Cook (125 g - 1.0 kg)

•Reheating by Sensor is suitable for pre-cooked foods. There is a setting for frozen and refrigerator temperature or room temperature foods. It is suitable for casseroles, plated meals, soup, stews, pasta dishes (except lasagne) and canned foods.

•Do not reheat bread or pastry products, raw uncooked food or beverages on Sensor Reheat.

•Foods greater than 1 kg or smaller than 125 g should be cooked by micro power and time.

•Follow general directions for heating as above.

•Cover foods securely with plastic wrap or a fitted lid, which does not snap seal.

•During the heating time, the oven will 'beep' and prompt you to stir/rearrange the food. There is no need to recover if not required.

•After heating, stir the food, check it is hot and allow standing for 2 to 3 minutes.

To Operate: Press then Press Start.

NN-ST780S, NN-ST680S specifications

The Panasonic NN-ST780S and NN-ST680S are two impressive models in the Panasonic microwave range, both designed to enhance cooking convenience and efficiency in modern kitchens. These models incorporate cutting-edge features and technologies that distinguish them in the crowded microwave market.

The NN-ST780S offers a powerful 1,250 watts of cooking power, ensuring quick and uniform cooking results. It comes with inverter technology, a hallmark feature of Panasonic microwaves. This technology allows for consistent cooking at lower power settings, unlike traditional microwaves that cycle on and off. This results in more evenly cooked dishes and prevents overcooking, especially for delicate foods like fish or custards.

Additionally, the NN-ST780S is equipped with a 2.2 cubic feet capacity, making it spacious enough for family-sized meals. Its sleek stainless steel design not only adds an aesthetic appeal but also enhances durability. Users will appreciate the easy-to-use control panel that features sensor cooking capabilities, allowing the microwave to automatically adjust cooking times for various foods, ensuring perfect results every time.

On the other hand, the NN-ST680S offers a slightly more compact design while still delivering a respectable 1,000 watts of power. This model also features inverter technology, perfect for users who need a balance of performance and space. With a 1.2 cubic feet capacity, it fits well in smaller kitchens without compromising on cooking versatility.

Both models come with various pre-programmed cooking options that make meal preparation a breeze. They include settings for popcorn, reheat, and defrost functions, catering to a wide array of cooking needs. The LED lighting ensures that users can easily monitor food as it cooks, while the ceramic enamel interior in both models allows for easy cleaning and prevents the absorption of odors.

In summary, the Panasonic NN-ST780S and NN-ST680S microwaves exemplify the blend of technology and design. With their powerful inverter technology, spacious capacities, and user-friendly features, they represent excellent choices for anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen appliances. Whether you need quick meals or precise cooking, these microwaves deliver both efficiency and performance.
