REHEATING
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that
conventional ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart
as a guide. The times in the chart consider liquids with a room
temperature of about +18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a
temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to
overcook and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating
small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 750 W power while others
should be reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food
using a lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities,
or if it is likely to heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When
possible, stir again before serving.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To
prevent eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before,
during and after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during
standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick
into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating
time, if necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note
of the time taken - for future reference.
Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.
Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the
temperature even out.
The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes,
unless another time is recommended in the chart.
Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also
the chapter with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven
has been switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir
during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To
prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a
spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before, during and
after heating.
REHEATING BABY FOOD
BABY FOOD: Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid.
Stir well after reheating! Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving
temperature: between 30-40 °C.
BABY MILK: Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat
uncovered. Never heat a baby's bottle with teat on, as the bottle
may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and
again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature
of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended
serving temperature: ca. 37 °C.
REMARK:
Baby food particularly needs to be checked carefully before serving
to prevent burns.
Use the power levels and times in the next table as a guide lines for
reheating.
