Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time a conventional oven takes.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joints of meat since they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. You will have more success reheating smaller pieces.
Keeping food covered while heating will also help prevent drying.
Power levels
Different power levels can be used for reheating foods.
In general, for large quantities of delicate food or foods that heat up quickly, such as mince
pies, it is better to use a lower power level.
Stirring
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before
serving. Stirring is especially important when heating liquids.
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. Avoid overheating. If uncertain, it is preferable to underestimate cooking
time. Then extra heating time can be added, if necessary. Always make sure that 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.
Reheating liquids
Take special care when heating liquids. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding,
place a spoon or glass stick in the beverage. Stir during heating and always stir after
heating. Allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off
to allow the temperature to even out.
