Heating or Reheating Guide
1. Directions below are for reheating already-cooked foods from refrigerator or room temperature. Use microwave oven safe containers.
2. Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are rare or medium meats, some sandwiches, griddle foods like pancakes and baked foods.
3. On models with a probe, insert the probe horizontally into the food so tbat the tip of the probe can measure the temperature in the center of the
food. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since center is last to heat. Foods reheated to 160~165°F. will provide safe, palatable results. Let
foods stand a few minutes, then stir before serving.
4. Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming or bubbling around edges does not necessarily mean food is heated throughout.
Stir food once or twice during heating, if possible, to ensure even, thorough heating.
