How To Heat or Reheat Similar Types of Food
Two plates of leftovers may be re-
heated together. Arrange thick or
dense foods to outside edges of
plate and cover with piastic wrap.
Microwave at HIGH (10) for3 min-
utes. Reverse position of plates
(top to bottom) and rotate % turn.
Continue microwaving at HIGH
(10) for 3 to 4 minutes. Continue
heating, if necessary, until hot.
Reheating two casseroles (height
should be less than 3% inches) is
now possibie. Cover with piastic
wrap. Use staggered arrangements
of food, piacing food on right side
of sheif and ieft side of fioor. Refer
to Heating or Reheating Guide (see
inside front cover of cookbook) for
suggested microwave time per
casseroie and add together the
times. Microwave at HiGH (10),
reversing position of foods (top to
bottom) after haif of time. Aiso,
heat severai smaiier bowis of ieft-
overs this way, stirring and revers-
ing positions after haif of time.

to boxes in which they were pur-
chased. Piace in oven with one TV
dinner on right sheif and the sec-
ond dinner on ieft fioor. Micro-

JW To Reheat Several Different Types of Foods Together
When heating severai different
types of food together, foods
which shouid be served hot must
be piaced on the oven sheif, whiie
foods which are oniy warmed
shouid be piaced on the fioor. This
is because microwave energy
enters the oven from the top oniy.
Aiso, 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 iarge
or dense food a few minutes ahead
of time, then add other smaiier or
iess dense foods. Alternately, if
one of the severai foods you are
heating seems under cooked but
the others are heated satisfac-
torily, iet the underheated food
continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of
food at HiGH (10). To determine
heating times, add together times
for aii foods. (see heating guide
inside front cover of cookbook)
After haif of time, stir or rearrange
foods (do not reverse positions).
Check foods (top sheif especiaiiy)
after 3/4of totai time and remove
any which are done. Continue
cooking others.
Place on shelf large or dense foods
which need the most heating, such
as ieftover fried chicken, casseroles
of canned or ieftover vegetables,
rice or pasta. Piace on oven fioor
those foods which need oniy be
warmed, such as bakery pies, roiis,
muffins or breads.
