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 shelf, while foods which are only warmed should be placed on the floor. This is because microwave energy enters the oven from the top 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 one of the foods you are heating seems undercooked but the others

e heated satisfactorily, let the underheated food continue cooking.

Continue cooking others.

Place on shelf large or dense foods which need the most heating, such as lefiover fried chicken, casseroles of canned or leftover vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on oven floor those foods which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or breads.
