Reheating
The microwave function
used to reheat food.
Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food
– drinks
– food
– * food for babies 450 W.
* Baby food
We do not recommend heating or re-
heating foods 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.
Always remove the lids from jars, es-
pecially jars of baby food. Remove
the rubber teat and seal top before
warming baby bottles.
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked
food should be gently heated at 450
watts, and tasted so that it is not too
hot for a baby's palate before serv-
ing. Other food or drink when re-
heated should be heated to a high
temperature and allowed to cool to
a suitable heat for consumption. For
made-up milk follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
After reheating stir the food or
shake the container and check that
the temperature does not pose any
danger. Double check after it has
been left to stand.
h
can be
900 W,
900 W or 600 W
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.
When reheating liquids place the boil-
ing rod supplied into the cup or glass.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the shell.
The eggs can burst.
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-
retaining bags intended for normal
ovens. These usually contain a thin
layer of aluminium foil which reflects
microwaves. This reflected energy can
cause the outer paper covering to
become so hot that it ignites.
The time required depends largely on
the nature of the food, its initial tempera-
ture and the amount to be cooked.
Food taken straight from the refrig-
erator takes longer to reheat than food
stored at room temperature.
Always ensure that the food is ade-
quately heated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, con-
tinue reheating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time dur-
ing cooking. Stir the food from the out-
side towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
