Heating or Reheating Guide

1Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use microwave-safe cookware.

2Cover most foods for fastest, most even heating. Exceptions are some sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.

3Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F. to 165°F. will provide safe, palatable results.

NOTE: Use Power Level Hi unless otherwise noted.

Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste. Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.

4Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout.

If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
