Heating Or Reheating Guide - GE Spacemaker JVM140K04 Owner's Manual

HEATING OR REHEATING GUIDE
NOTE: Use Power Level High (10) unless otherwise noted.
1. Directions below are for heating or reheating already-cooked
foods stored in refrigerator or at room temperature. Use
microwave-safe cookware.
2. Cover most foods for fastest heating. Exceptions are some
sandwiches, griddle foods and baked items.
3. Bubbling around edges of dish is normal, since the center is the
last to heat. Foods heated to 160°E to 165°E will provide safe,
palatable results. Adjust temperatures to suit your personal
taste. Let foods stand a few minutes before serving.
4. Be sure foods are heated throughout before serving. Steaming
or bubbling around edges of dish does not necessarily mean
food is heated throughout.
If you use a meat thermometer while cooking, make sure
it is safe for use in microwave ovens.
