How to Reheat Several Different ~pes of Foods Together

When heating several different types of food together, foods which should be served hot must be placed on the oven floor, while foods which need only to be warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that foods absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its starting temperature.

Because of the varying rates, you may need to start reheating a large or dense food a few minutes ahead of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.

Alternately, if 1 of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.

Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10). To determine heating times, add times for all foods together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods (do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
