Heating or Reheating Guide

1. Directions below are for reheating already-cooked foods at refrigerator or room temperature. Use microwave oven safe containers.
2. Cover most foods for fastest heating (see tip). Exceptions are rare or medium meats, some sandwiches, griddle foods like pancakes and
baked foods.
3. Adjust temperatures to your personal taste. Stir foods before serving.
4. Be sure foods are heated through before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout.
As a general rule, hot foods produce an area warm to the touch in center of underside of dish.
