Typesof FoodsTogether

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top only.

Also, it is importantto remember

that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.Ratescan be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods. Alternately, if one of the several foods you are heating seems under cooked but the others are heated satisfac- torily, let the undw’heated food continue cooking,
