Reheating Liquids; Reheating Baby Food - Samsung MC28A6036Q Series User Manual

Reheating
Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that conventional
ovens hobs normally take.
Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. The
times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about +18 to +20 °C
or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering
Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat - they tend to overcook and dry
out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be more successful.
Power levels and stirring
Some foods can be reheated using 900 W power while others should be reheated
using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.
Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a lower
power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to heat up
very quickly (mince pies, for example). Stir well or turn food over during reheating
for best results. When possible, stir again before serving. Take particular care
when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent eruptive boiling of liquids
and possible scalding, stir before, during and after heating. Keep them in the
microwave oven during standing time. We recommend putting a plastic spoon or
glass stick into the liquids. Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.
It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if
necessary.
Heating and standing times
When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time
taken - for future reference. Always make sure that the reheated food is piping
hot throughout. Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let
the temperature even out. The recommended standing time after reheating is
2-4 minutes, unless another time is recommended in the chart. Take particular
care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the chapter with the safety
precautions.

Reheating liquids

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been
switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if
necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible
scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages and stir before,
during and after heating.

Reheating baby food

Baby food:
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating!
Let stand for 2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature.
Recommended serving temperature: between 30-40 °C.
Baby milk:
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby's
bottle with teat on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before
standing time and again before serving ! Always carefully check the temperature
of baby milk or food before giving it to the baby. Recommended serving
temperature: ca. 37 °C.
