How to Reheat Several Different
~pes
of Foods Together
When heating several different types of food together,
foods which
shouId
be served hot must be placed on
the shelf, while foods which need only to be warmed
should be placed on the oven 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. Rates can be
affected by the size of the food, and its starting
temperature.
Because of the varying rates, you may need to start
reheating a
large
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if 1 of the foods you are heating seems
undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,
let
the
underheated
food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at High ( 10).
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 oven floor) after 3/4 of total time and
remove any which are done. Continue cooking
others.
Place on shelf
I
II
large or dense
foods which
need the most
heating, such
as leftover
fried chicken,
casseroles of
canned or
leftover
vegetables, rice or pasta. Place on floor those foods
which need only be warmed, such as bakery pies,
rolls, muffins or breads.
Pop popcorn on the microwave oven floor
only. Popcorn
placed
on the oven shelf will not pop
properly. The Popcorn feature is designed to be used
with prepackaged microwave popcorn weighing 3.0
to 3.7 ounces.
