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.

(min.)
5-6 Weigh the peeled potatoes and cut them into
9-10
similar sized halves or quarters.
Stand for 3 minutes.
5-5½ Cut turnip cabbage into small cubes.
Stand for 3 minutes.
Peel and cut yam 3cm thick and put on pyrex
bowl. Add room temperature 250 ml water in
bowl. Cook covered with wrap and pierce at
several times. After cooking, drain water and
serve. Stand for 1-2 minutes.
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.
