Cooking And Reheating Guidelines - Panasonic NN-GM34NB Operating Instructions Manual

Cooking and reheating guidelines

Most foods reheat very quickly in your oven by HIGH power. Meals can be brought
back to serving temperature in just minutes.
Always check food is piping hot and return to oven if necessary.
As a general rule, always cover wet foods, e.g. soups, casseroles and plated meals.
Do not cover dry foods e.g. bread rolls, mince pies, sausage rolls, etc.
Remember when cooking or reheating any food that it should be stirred or turned
wherever possible. This ensures even cooking or reheating on the outside and in
the centre.
MINCE PIES - CAUTION
REMEMBER even if the pastry is cold to the touch, the
filling will be piping hot and will warm the pastry through.
Take care not to overheat otherwise burning can occur
due to the high fat and sugar content of the filling. Check
the temperature of the filling before consuming to avoid
burning your mouth.
PUDDINGS AND LIQUIDS - CAUTION
Puddings and other foods high in fats or sugar, e.g. jam,
mince pies, must not be over heated. These foods must
never be left unattended as with over cooking these
foods can ignite. Take great care when reheating these
items.
Do not leave unattended.
Do not add extra alcohol.
BABIES BOTTLES - CAUTION
Milk or formula MUST be shaken thoroughly before
heating and again at the end and tested carefully before
feeding a baby.
For 200-240 ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove
top and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 30-50 sec.
CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE FEED.
For 90 ml of milk from fridge temperature, remove top
and teat. Heat on HIGH power for 15-20 sec.
CHECK CAREFULLY BEFORE FEED.
N.B. Liquid at top of bottle will be much hotter than at
bottom.
The bottle must be shaken thoroughly and tested before
use.
WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE YOUR
MICROWAVE TO STERILISE BABIES' BOTTLES.
If you have a special microwave steriliser, we urge
extreme caution, due to the low quantity of water involved.
It is vital to follow the manufacturers instructions implicitly.
