When heating several different
types of food together, foods
which should be served hot must
beplaced on the oven shelf, while
foods which are only warmed
should beplaced 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
energyat different rates. Ratescan
beaffected by the size of the food,
and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates you
mayneed to start reheating alarge
ordense food afew minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the several foods you are
heating seems under cooked but
the others are heated satisfac-
torily, let the underheated food
continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at HiGH (10). To determine
heating times, add together times
for all foods. (see heating guide
inside front cover of cookbook)
After half of time, stir or rearrange
foods (do not reverse positions),
Check foods (top shelfespecially)
after Y4of total time and remove
any which are done, Continue
cookirm others.
