General Guidelines

Quantity

Small quantities cook faster than large quantities, also small meals will reheat more quickly than large portions.

Density

Porous airy foods heat more quickly than dense heavy foods.

Shape

Even shapes cook evenly.

Arranging

Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops, should be placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are to the outside.

Spacing

Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other

Ingredients

Foods containing fat, sugar or salt heat up very quickly. The filling may be much hotter than the pastry. Take care when eating. Do not overheat even if the pastry does not appear to be very hot.
