Heating or Reheating Guide

•Directions below are for heating or reheating already- cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.

•Cover most foods for fast heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.

•Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F.--165°F. will provide safe, palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste. Foods need standing time before serving to allow completion of cooking process.

•Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily indicate food is heated throughout.

•Use Full Power, unless otherwise listed in Heat or

Reheat guide below.

Note: If thermometer is needed during cooking, use microwave-safe thermometer.
