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. |

Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using |

| Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving to prevent burns. | |||||||
Check the tables for guidance. |

| Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for reheating. | ||||||||
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). |
|
