Table: 02.
The smaller the size of the vegetables, the quicker they will cook. All fresh vegetables should be cooked

Power levels and stirring

Adjust the power level from 900W to 300W, according to the kind of food that you want to reheat.
Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, stir again before serving.
Avoid overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food. It is wiser to underestimate cooking time and
add extra heating time, if necessary.

Reheating

Use the power levels and reheating times given in Table: 04. The time in the table considers liquids
with a room temperature of about +18 to +20°C or chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to
+7°C. Avoid reheating large items such as joints of meat — they tend to overcook and dry out before
the centre is piping hot. It is far better to reheat small pieces.
