How to Reheat Several
Different 'Ijqxs of Foods
Together
When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should be served hot must be
placed on the oven floor, while
foods which are only warmed
should be placed on the shelf. This
is because microwave energy enters
the oven from the bottom only.
Also, it is important to remember
that foods absorb microwave
energy at different rates. Rates can
be affected by the size of the food,
and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you
may need to start reheating a large
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the foods you are heating
seems undercooked but the others
are heated satisfactorily, let the
underheated food continue
cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at High (10). To determine
heating times, add times for all
are both ready to
foods together. (See heating guide
in cookbook. ) Afler half of time,
stir or rearrange foods (do not
reverse positions). Check foods
(floor especially) after 3/4 of total
time and remove any which are
done. Continue cooking others.
Place on floor large or dense
foods
such as leftover fried chicken,
casseroles of canned or leftover
vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on
shelf those foods which need only
be warmed, such as bakery pies,
rolls, muffins or breads.
