Heating Or Reheating Guide - Monogram ZEM200 Series Use And Care Manual

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.
