When heating several different
types of food together, foods
which should be served hot must
be placed on the oven shelf, while
foods which are only warmed
should be placed on the floor, This
is because microwave energy
enters the oven from the top only.
Also, it is important to remember
that foods absorb microwave
energy at different rates.Ratescan
be affected by the size of the food,
and its starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates you
may need to start reheatinga large
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or
less dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the several foods you are
heating seems under cooked but
the others are heated satisfac-
torily, let the underheated food
continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at HiGH (10). To determine
heating times, add together times
for all foods. (see heating guide
inside front cover of cookbook)
After half of time, stir or rearrange
foods (do not reverse positions),
Check foods (top shelf especially)
after Y4of total time and remove
any which are done, Continue
cookirm others.
