Reheating - Miele M 6012 SC Operating Instructions Manual

Reheating

Select the following microwave power
levels to reheat food:
Drinks
Food
Food for babies and
children

Food for babies and children
must not be too hot.
Reheat it for only 1/2 to 1 minute at
450 W.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a crispy finish is
required, e.g. crumbed poultry/meat.

Never reheat sealed jars.
Remove the lid from baby food jars.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be taken off.
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,
a glass rod or similar item, if
available, can be placed in the
container during heating.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in the
microwave, even without the shell.
The eggs can burst.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to cook than food which
has been kept at room temperature.
54
The time required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial temperature
and the amount to be cooked.
900 W
Always ensure that food is
600 W
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
450 W
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 around the outside.
After reheating
Be careful when removing the dish
from the oven. It may be hot.
Although heat is not normally produced
in the container itself by the
microwaves (apart from stoneware),
heat transfer from the food to the
container may be considerable, making
the container itself hot.
Allow food to stand for a few minutes at
room temperature at the end of
cooking. This enables the heat to
spread evenly through the food.

After reheating food, especially
food for babies and small children,
stir the food or shake the container
and check that the temperature does
not pose any danger of burning.
Double check after it has been left to
stand.
