Contiinem and covem

Appropriate containers and coverings help assure good reheating results.

Always use microwave-safe containers and cover them with lids, wax paper or plastic wrap. Wonder if it’s microwave safe? Put it to the test described on page 3.

. Never use tight-sealing plastic lids—they can prevent steam from escaping and cause poor reheating results.

Match the amount of food to the size of the container. Fill containers at least half full for best results.

Be sure the outside of the cooking contiiner and the inside of the microwave oven are dry before placing food in the oven. Beads of moisture turning into steam can mislead the sensor.

Stir or rotate some foods after the beeping signal (if required).

Use microwave-safe casseroles or bowls. Cover with lids that fit. If lids are not available, use plastic wrap or wax paper. Plastic wrap should be loose over food to allow for escaping steam. Seal by pressing plastic wrap firmly around edges.

Que~iom & Amwem

Q. If my food is not completely reheated after using the suggested code, what should I do?

A. Use Time Cook I and power level 10 for 30-second increments until the desired temperature is reached.

Q. What if I don’t fully cover the dish in Auto Reheat?

A. Oven senses steam too quic~y, which shortens the reheating time and leaves food too cool. Cover tightly and reset Auto Reheat.

Q. Do the shapes and sizes of food make a difference when using Auto Reheat?

A. Yes, in some cases, larger pieces will require additional Time Cooking. Be sure to check suggested arrangement of pieces in the dish, since proper arrangement is often a successful tip in regular microwaving.

Q. Are there any other foods which are reheated best using ~me Cook, rather than Auto Reheat?

A. Bakery foods, candies, melted chocolate or foods when a dry or crisp surface is desirable, are reheated best by Time Cook.

Q. Would my plastic containers with very tight fitting lids be appropriate for Automatic Reheating?

A. No, most types of plastic storage dishes, butter tubs, etc. with tight fitting lids are not recommended for microwaving. Also tight fitting plastic lids may prevent adequate steam from escaping and food may not heat properly during Auto Reheat.

Q. I tried to warm some chow mein noodles using Auto Reheat. Why didn’t this work?

A. Food must have some moisture in order to create steam which helps the auto sensor function. Extremely dry foods such as chow mein noodles, potato chips and other such foods do not have enough moisture.

Q. May I use Auto Reheat when I am reheating many foods in more than one dish or casserole?

A. No. Because of different food densities, attention needed during reheating, and food amounts, it is best to use Time Cook when reheating many foods.
