Reheating

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 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 High 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 dryer surface e.g. Crumbed foods

•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.

Reheating by Auto Cook Å

•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.
