Heating or Reheating Guide

Directions below are for reheating already-cooked foods at refrigerator or room temperature. Always use microwave-safe ceramic, glass or plastic utensils.

Cover most foods (see tips) for fastest heating. Exceptions are rare or medium meats, some sandwiches, griddle foods like pancakes and baked foods.

Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is last to heat. Suggested serving temperatures are given for most foods. Young children usually prefer cooler food, generally about 20°F lower. Adjust temperatures to personal taste. Stir foods before serving.

Be sure foods are heated through before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout. Stir food once or twice during heating, if possible, to ensure even, thorough heating. As a general rule, hot foods produce an area warm to the touch in center of underside of dish.
