Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional ovens |

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 |

Arranging and covering |
|
| 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 | |||||||
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry out |

Power levels and stirring |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated using |
|
| REMARK: |
|
|
|
| ||
600 W, 450 W or even 300 W. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| 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). |
|
| Reheating Liquids and Food |

|
| |||
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again |
