Panasonic NN-CT559W En-39, Automatic Reheating, Manual Reheating microwave or combination

Reheating

Your oven allows you to either reheat items manually, by choosing the cooking time and method, or, for many popular dishes, to use the automatic programmes which calculate the cooking time and choose the best cooking method for you.

Automatic Reheating

1.Stews (300-800 g) - Stews, raviolli, ragouts

or goulash (industrially

prepared or home made. Heat in a dish with lid, stir after half

cooking time and before standing time.

2.Plated meals (200-500 g) - Industrially prepared products or home made plated meals with 3 components. Heat on a plate with cover. Allow to stand 2 minutes after heating.

1.Frozen chips (200-500 g) - Frozen chips suitable for cooking in an

oven, instrustrially prepared. Remove all packaging and place directly on enamel tray on wire rack. Turn

after 1⁄2 cooking time.

2.Frozen pizza (100-450 g) - For heating and browing industrially prepared frozen pizza. Place on the wire rack on the enamel tray. The results will vary depending on the topping (vegetables and seafood will take longer to reheat and brown than cheese or pepperoni) and depending on the thickness of the base.

Manual Reheating (microwave or combination):

All sauces or food items which are liquid or “moist” should be reheated using microwave only (dishes in sauce, ravioli, pureed food, soup, vegetables, starchy food etc.). Food which must be browned or crispy (gratins, quiches, pies, pizzas, filled-pastry items, sweet pastries etc.) should be reheated using combination cooking.

Container and accessories:

•microwaves only: the food to be reheated should be placed in containers which are microwave safe, pyrex®, or ovenproof porcelain. It is recommended to take food out of any plastic sachets it may be contained in, as these could cause the reheating to be very uneven. It is also more difficult to remove this packaging when the sachets are piping hot. Food contained in 2 separate packets (for example rice and meat for a curry) should if possible be mixed in order to avoid uneven temperatures; the more fatty food (e.g. meat) should be placed in the middle or underneath, with the food which is denser or contains more water (e.g. vegetables or potatoes) should be placed around the outside. Cover the dish or plate with cling film or a lid. Most packaged ready-meals give instructions for reheating in the microwave. Follow the manufacturerʼs advice but check the temperature of food before eating and increase the reheating time if necessary.

•combination cooking: remove packaging from dry food items (deep pan pizzas or pizzas for cooking). For moist food items (gratins, lasagnes, shepherdʼs pie etc.) it is preferable to use dishes which are microwave safe and heat- resistant, which you place on the metal tray or the wire rack according to their thickness.

DO NOT place metal or aluminium containers or aluminium directly on the wire rack. Preheating (when using Convection mode) is often recommended. See the charts on page 18 onwards.
