plates of leftovers maybe
reheated together. Arrange thick
or dense
foods to outside edges of
plate and cover with plastic wrap.
Microwave at High (10) for 2 to 3
minutes. Reverse position of plates
(top to bottom) and rotate 1/2 turn.
Continue microwaving at High (10)
for 2 to 3 minutes. Continue
heating, if necessary, until hot.
Reheating two casseroles (height
should be less than
3~2
inches) is
possible. Cover with plastic wrap.
Use staggered arrangements of
food, placing
food on right side of
shelf and left side of floor. Refer to

reversing position of foods (top to
bottom) after half of time. Several
small bowls of leftovers maybe
heated in the same way, stirring and
reversing positions after
hdf
of time.
Two frozen individual entrees
(5 to 7 oz. each) or two TV
dinners (10 to
U

both ready to serve at the same
time. Remove trays of food from
their boxes. If there are foil covers,
remove them and return the trays of
food to their boxes. (Battered foods
should be removed from the trays
and cooked conventionally. ) Place

How to Reheat Several
Different
~pes
of Foods
T~ether
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
ordy
warmed should
beplacd
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.
Because of the varying rates, you
may need to start reheating larger or
more dense foods 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. ) After
halfoftime,
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 floor larger or more
dense foods
which need the most
heating, such as leftover fried
chicken, casseroles of canned or
leftover vegetables, rice or pasta.
Place on oven shelf those foods
which need only be warmed, such
as bakery pies, rolls, muffins or
breads.
