To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the amount of food in
order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern for best results. Room temperature food
will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the can and placed in a microwavable
container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or plastic wrap, vented. Remove cover
carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
