Heating and Defrosting Time Charts

baked goods and dessertS

Breads, pastries and pies should be heated uncovered, at HIGH power. They should be placed on absorbent material, such as a napkin or paper towel to prevent sogginess.

DO NOT OVERHEAT breads and pastries. Baked goods should only be heated until the crust feels warm to the touch (120˚F-130˚F).

Because crusts of breads, pastries and pies are drier than insides or fillings, they heat more slowly. After heating let rest about 1 minutes for equalization of temperature. If product is overheated, the end result will not be satisfactory.

Heating times for sweet baked goods and desserts are relatively short because of the high sugar content.

NE1257R, NE1258R, NE1757R, NE2157R specifications

Panasonic has long been a trusted name in the realm of commercial microwaves, and their models NE1258R, NE1757R, NE2157R, and NE1257R are outstanding examples of innovation, efficiency, and reliability. These microwaves are designed for heavy commercial use, suitable for restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores, where speed and consistency are essential.

The Panasonic NE1258R is equipped with a powerful 1000 watts of cooking power. Its compact size makes it ideal for kitchens with limited space, while its easy-to-use control panel ensures quick operation. One of its standout features is the patented inverter technology, which allows for consistent heating and cooking throughout, minimizing the risk of hot or cold spots in food. This technology enhances the overall quality of food being prepared, making it a favorite among chefs who prioritize precision.

Moving up in size and power, the NE1757R and NE2157R models boast 1750 watts and 2100 watts, respectively.
