How to Heat or Reheat Similar~pes
of Food
\
lWo plates of leftovers maybe
reheated together. Arrange thick
or dense foods to outside edges of
plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave at HIGH (10) for 3
minutes. Reverse position of plates
(top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn.
Continue microwaving at HIGH
(10) for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue
heating, if necessary, until hot.
Reheating two casseroles (height
should be less than 4 inches) is
possible. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use staggered arrangements of
food, placing food on right side of
shelf and left side of floor. Refer to
Heating or Reheating Guide in
cookbook for suggested microwave
time per casserole and add the times
together. Microwave at HIGH (10)
reversing position of foods (top to -
bottom) afier half of time. Several
small bowls of leftovers maybe
heated in the same way, stirring
and reversing positions after half
of time.
How to Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together
When heating several different
types of food together, foods which
should be served hot must be placed
on the oven floor, while foods which
are only warmed should be placed
on the shelf. This is because
microwave energy enters the oven
from the bottom only. Also, it is
important to remember that foods
absorb microwave energy at
different rates. Rates can be affected
by the size of the food, and its
starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you
may need to start reheating a large
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the foods you are heating
seems undercooked but the others
are heated satisfactorily, let the
underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at HIGH (10). To de~ermine
heating times, add times for all
foods together. (See heating guide
in cookbook. ) After half of time,
stir or rearrange foods (do not
reverse positions). Check foods
(especially those on oven floor)
afier 3/4 of total time and remove
any which are done. Continue
cooking others.

Two frozen individual entrees
(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinners
(10 to 12 oz. each) are both ready to
serve at the same time. Remove trays
of fd
from their boxes and turn back
one comer of the plastic cover to vent.
If there are foil covers, remove them
and return the trays of food to their
boxes. (Batter foods should be
removed from the trays and cooked

in oven with._ .
one TV dinner on right shelf and the
second dinner on left floor.
Microwave at HIGH (10) for 8
minutes. Reverse positions (top to
bottom) and rotate foods 1/2 turn.
Continue microwaving at HIGH
(10) for 8 minutes. Check dinners
for heating. If one dinner seems less
done than desired, return it to the
box and continue heating on floor
'.to 2 more minutes.
-
Place on floor large or dense foods
which need the most heating, such
as leftover fried chicken, casseroles
of canned or lefiover vegetables,
rice or pasta. Place on shelf those
foods which need only be warmed,
such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins
or breads.
