links with
the
heating
times
given
on
food.

MAFF
Reheating
Cooked Chilled Foods
35
Displayed
on
the food
packages
will be the
cooking
times for each of the
BAND
categories.
For
example:
A may be 10 minutes. B may be 9 minutes
etc
depending
on
the food
type.
When
applying
this method for
reheating
cooked chilled food
stuffs,
the
following
information
must
be adhered
to:
1
The microwave
output
power of this
oven
must
be
set at
maximum
power level.
(refer
to
instructions)
2 Refer to the
cooking
instructions
given
on
the
packaging.
3 As with all cooked
food,
check for
evenness
of
cooking
and
ensure
that
foods
are
piping
hot,
prior
to
consumption.
The
oven
has been tested and labeled
to
the
Ministry
of
Agriculture
Fisheries
and Food
(MAFF) agreement, concerning
the
reheating
of cooked chilled
food.
The
heating
characteristics and
output
power levels of
oven
with microwave
function
are
usually
calculated
using
a
1000
gram
load,
(IEC 705).
However,
at
smaller loads the
heating
characteristics of the
oven
with
microwave function
change.
Most
prepacked
food
normally
falls into this
category, usually
being packed
in smaller individual
portions
of approx. 350
grams.
Therefore,
it
was
clear that
a new
approach
for
reheating
this
type
of
food
was
required.
MAFF
working
in
partnership
with the food
companies
and
oven(with
microwave
function)
manufacturers such
as
'LG electronics' have
overcome
this
problem by
the introduction of
heating categories.
Because you may
not
yet
be familiar with this
system,
we
have used the
following explanation
as an
example.
However,
please
refer
to
the actual
rating
as
printed
on
the
oven
door.
