Microwave Heating Categories
Your microwave has
been
tested and
labelled
to meet the government's
voluntary
agreement
on the
reheating of pre-cooked
food
.
The heating characteristics and output power levels of microwaves are usually calculated using
a
relatively
large portion of food (a
1000
gram load,
IEC
?OS) but many packs of pre-cooked food are sold
in
smaller
packs,
often about 3SO
grams.
The
government, in partnership with food companies and microwave manufacturers,
have
set up a system
of heating categories to
help
you
choose the
reheating time for pre-cooked food
.
