Heating or Reheating Guide

1. Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked
foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use
microwave-safe cookware.
2. Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some
sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.
3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the
last to heat. Foods heated to 160°F. to 165°F. will provide safe,
palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal taste.
Let foods stand a few minutes befbre serving.
