Converting recipes from other sources

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 or AUTO REHEAT buttons 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 (S) (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.

or

Reheating by Auto Cook Å

(250 g - 850 g)

•Foods weighting less than 200 g and more than 900 g should be heated by micro power and time.

•Auto Cook has 2 settings one for heating frozen foods and one for heating foods from refrigerator or room temperature.

•Suitable foods include casseroles, plated dinners, soups, stews, pasta dishes. (except lasagne) and canned foods.

•Do not reheat bread or pastry items, raw or uncooked foods or beverages.

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

•During the cooking time, the oven will 'beep' and prompt you to rearrange or stir. At the end of cooking time, stir the food, check it is hot and allow standing 2 to 3 minutes.
