How to Reheat Several Different
~pes
of Foods Together
When heating several different types of food together,
foods which should be served hot must be placed on
the oven floor, while foods which need only to be
warmed should be placed on the shelf. This is
because microwave energy enters the oven from the
bottom only. Also, it is important to remember that
foods absorb microwave energy at different rates.
Rates can be affected by the size of the food, and its
starting temperature.

To determine heating times, add times for all foods
together. After half of time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (especially
those on the oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and
remove any which are done. Continue cooking others.
