Reheating - Miele M 6160 TC Operating Instructions Manual

Reheating

Select the following microwave power
levels to reheat food:
Beverages
Food
Food for babies and
children

Food for babies and children
must not be too hot.
We do not recommend heating or
reheating food or drinks for babies or
young children in the microwave
oven. Any decision to do this is the
responsibility of the user, and should
only be done with the utmost care.
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked food
should be gently heated for 1/2 to
1 minute at 450 W, and tasted to
make sure it is not too hot for a
baby's palate before serving. When
reheating other food or drink, heat to
a high temperature and allow to cool
to a suitable heat for eating. For
formula milk follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.

900 W
With baby bottles, the screw top and
600 W
teat must be taken off.
450 W
Flash boiling can be avoided by
stirring liquids before heating them.
After heating, wait at least
20 seconds before removing the
container from the oven. In addition,
during heating a glass rod or similar
item, if available, can be placed in
the container.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs using
Microwave Solo mode, even without
the shell. The eggs can explode.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to cook than food which
has been kept at room temperature.
The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial temperature
and the amount to be cooked.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached,
continue reheating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time
during cooking. Stir the food from the
outside towards the middle, as food
heats more quickly from the outside.
After reheating
Be careful when removing a dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
