Reheating two casseroles (height
should be less than 4 inches) is
possible. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use staggered anangements of
food, placing food on right side
of shelf and lefi side of floor. Refer
to Heating or Reheating Guide in
cookbook for suggested microwave
time per casserole and add the times
together. Microwave at HIGH (10)
reversing position of foods (top to
bottom) after half of time. Also,
heat several small bowls of leftovers
this way, stirring and reversing
positions afier half of time.
How to Reheat Several Different Types 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
are only 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 afkcted 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
‘- one 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. (See heating guide
in cookbook. ) Afler half of time,
stir or rearrange foods (do not
reverse positions). Check foods
(floor especially) after 3/4 of total
time and remove any which are
done. Continue cooking others.
Two frozen individual entrees
(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV dinners
(10to 12 oz. each) are both ready to
serve at the same time. Remove
traysof food from their boxes and
turn back one corner of the plastic
cover to vent. If there are foil covers,
remove them and return the trays of
food to their boxes. (Batter foods
should be removed from the trays
and cooked conventionally. ) Place
in oven with one TV dinner on right
shelf and the second dinner on left
floor. Microwave at HIGH (10) for 6
minutes. Reverse positions (top to
bottom) and rotate foods 1/2turn.
Continue microwaving at HIGH (10)
for 6 minutes. Check dinners for
heating. If one dinner seems less
done than desired, return it to the
box and continue heating on floor
1to 2 more minutes,
Place on floor 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 shelf those
foods which need only be warmed,
such as bakery pies, rolls, muffins
or breads.
