Two plates of leftovers

reheated together. Arrange thick
or dense foods to outside edges of
plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave at HI for 4 to 5 min-

to bottom) and rotate 1? turn. Con-
tinue microwaving at HI for 4 to 5

Reheating
two casseroles
(height
should be-less than 3Yzinches)-is
now 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 and Reheating Guide (see
inside front cover of cookbook) for
suggested microwave time per cas-
serole and add the times together.
Microwave at HI, reversing posi-
tion of foods (top to bottom) after
half of time. Also, heat several
smaller bowls of leftovers this 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 shelf, while
foods which are only warmed
should be placed on the floor. This
is because microwave energy enters
the oven from the top 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 several foods you are heating
seems under cooked but the others
-. are heated satisfactorily,
let the
.,
'~derheated food continue cooking.
'% ~.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at HI. To determine heating
times, add together times for all
foods. (See heating guide inside
front cover of cookbook.)
After
half of time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check
foods (top shelf
especially) after %
of total time and remove any which
are done. Continue cooking others.

Two
frozen individual
entrees
(5 to 7 oz. ea.) or two
TV dinners
(10 to 12 oz. ea.)
are
both ready to
serve at the same time. Remove
batter
foods; cook these conven-
tionally.
Remove
foil covers and
return
foil trays containing
food to
boxes in which they were purchased.
Place in oven with one TV dinner on
right shelf and the second dinner on
left floor. Microwave
at HI for 9
minutes.
Reverse
positions
(top to
bottom)
and rotate
foods %Jturn.
Continue
microwaving
at HI for 9
minutes.
Check dinners
for heating.
If one dinner
seems less done than
desired,
return
it to the box and
continue
heating
on shelf 1 to 2
more minutes.
Place on shelf large or dense foods
which need the most heating, such
as leftover fried chicken, casseroles
of canned or leftover vegetables,
rice or pasta. Place on oven floor
those foods which need only be
warmed, such as bakery pies, rolls,
muffins or breads.
