Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous, they have a low density. Since the filling is usually more dense than the
bread or rolls, the filling determines the heating time. Surprisingly, the filling will always be hotter than the bread feels. Care must
be taken not to overcook as the bread will become tough. Use several thin slices of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are
better than one thick slice. The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the meat is hot. Sandwiches
may be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to be warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a paper towel.
Remove wrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be used for sandwiches. The filling,
however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread is fine for sandwiches and provides a firm base. The toast is warmed only; no
further browning occurs.

Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time is a little shorter than conventional, but the greatest advantage is
the ease with which you can prepare fluffy rice without sticking or burning. Cooked rice and pasta reheat easily in the microwave
oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water is needed to prevent sticking or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking
rice and pasta or thinning sauces.
