REHEATING ADVICE

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Plated meals

Sliced meat

Poultry portions

Casseroles

Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below.

Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on MEDIUM, stir/ rearrange halfway through reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on MEDIUM. Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating. NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before

serving.

Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on MEDIUM HIGH. Turn over halfway through reheating. NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated

before serving.

Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid and reheat on MEDIUM.

Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.

NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using HIGH, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using MEDIUM.

NOTES:

•Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.

•Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape and material of the container.

Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns.

•To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.

•Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.

•Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the can.

The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.
