| REHEATING | |
| ||
GB |
| Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens |
|
| and hobs normally take. |
|
| Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The times in |
|
| the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or a chilled |
|
| food with a temperature of about +5 to +7°C. |
| Arranging and covering | |
|
| Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out |
|
| before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful. |
| Power levels and stirring | |
|
| Some foods can be reheated using 750 W power while others should be reheated using |
|
| 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W. |
|
| Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower power |
|
| level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up very quickly |
|
| (mince pies, for example). |
|
| Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again |
|
| before serving. |
|
| Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of |
|
| liquids and possible scalding , stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the |
|
| microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass |
|
| stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. |
|
| It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if necessary. |
| Heating and standing times | |
|
| When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time taken - for |
|
| future reference. |
|
| Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout. |
|
| Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature even out. |
|
| The recommended standing time after reheating is |
|
| recommended in the chart.. |
|
| Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the |
|
| safety precautions. |
| REHEATING LIQUIDS | |
|
| Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off |
|
| to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir |
|
| after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon |
|
| or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating. |
| REHEATING BABY FOOD | |
|
| BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after |
|
| reheating! Let stand for |
|
| the temperature. Recommended serving temperature: between |
|
| BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a |
|
| baby’s bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake |
|
| well before standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully |
|
| check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. |
|
| Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C. |
|
| REMARK: |
|
| Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. |
|
| Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating. |
