Heating and Defrosting Time Charts

BREAKFAST

All foods listed are prepared in advance and reheated at HIGH power from refrigerated temperatures (40˚F).

Most breakfast foods are heated covered to retain moisture, with the exception of breads and pastries, which should be heated uncovered on absorbent material such as a napkin or paper towel to prevent sogginess. For poached eggs, pierce yolks before heating and allow eggs to stand for 1 minute after cooking so pressure subsides before cutting into them.

When preparing breakfast foods conventionally, undercook slightly and immediately chill and store, covered, for later reheating.

Cured breakfast meats will reheat faster than uncured meats because salt readily absorbs microwave energy.

WARNING: Never cook or reheat eggs in the shell. They may explode when interior pressure builds up.
