SANDWICHES, INCLUDING HAMBURGERS AND HOT DOGS
Guide
for
Heating Sandwiches
Sandwiches heat very quickly because, being porous,
they
have
a
low density. Since the filling is usually
more dense than
the
bread
or
rolls, the filling
determines
the
heating
time.
Surprisingly, the filling will
always be hotter than the
bread
feels. Care must be taken not to
overcook as the
bread
will
become
tough.
Use several
thin
slices
of meat. Thin slices heat more quickly and are
better than one thick slice.
The slow heating thick slice often causes the bread to overcook before the
meat is hot. Sandwiches may
be placed on a paper plate, napkin or paper towel to
be
warmed. The sandwich should be covered with a
paper towel. Remove wrapping immediately after warming. Already-baked frozen breads and rolls may be
used for sandwiches. The filling, however, should be thawed first. Toasted bread
is
fine for
sandwiches
and provides
a
firm base. The toast
is
warmed only;
no
further browning occurs.

PASTA & GRAINS
Guide
for
Gooking Pasta and
Grains
Raw long grain rice takes time to rehydrate. Microwaving time
is
a little shorter than conventional, but the
greatest advantiage
is
the ease with which you can prepare fluffo
rice without sticking or
burning. Cooked
rice and pasta reheat easily in
the
microwave oven without loss of flavor or texture. No extra water
is
needed
to prevent sticking
or drying, so there's no danger of overcooking rice and pasta or
thinning
sauces.
