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 Pad or FROZEN 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).

Reheating by Auto Cook

•Minimun weight 250 g / Maximun weight 850 g

•Foods weighting less than 250 g and more than

850 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.

• 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 drier

surface, e.g. Crumbed foods.

Note: when cooking by Auto 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.
