Cooking Frozen Foods

Frozen food requires extra care when being pre- pared in a microwave because most package instructions are based on a certain oven. Know the output power of your particular oven. If your oven is of a different wattage than that stated on the packet, adjustments to the cooking times will be required.

INCREASE the cooking time in 1 minute incre- ments Where possible stir each time then leave to stand for at least 3 minutes.

Tips on Reheating Food

. Arrange foods for reheating on the plate so that the thicker, denser and meatier portions are to the outer edge of the dish, where they will receive the maximum amount of energy, and the thinner areas to the center where they will get less.

l When plating up meals for reheating, try to ensure that the food is arranged in an even layer.

l Cover foods when reheating with a layer of pricked cling film to retain moisture.

l When reheating, observe the standing time recommened in cooking procedures to make maximum use of the microwave energy and to prevent overcooking of the reheated dish.

l The times in the reheating chart refer to foods at room temperature. Allow extra time if the food is refrigerated or frozen.

. When reheating potatoes in their jackets, breads pastries or moist foods, place them on a sheet of absorbent paper towel so that it may absorb the moisture during the reheating time.

l If you are in any doubt about a food losing moisture during reheating, warp it in a tight skin of cling film, piercing the cling film in a couple of places.

l Stir foods regularly during the reheating process. If stirring is not possible, then rotate the food or dish or re-arrange during the reheating time.
