11. Reheating
It is essential that
reheated food is served
“piping hot”. Remove the
food from the oven and
check that it is “piping
hot”, i.e. steam is being
emitted from all parts and
any sauce is bubbling. If you wish you may
choose to check the food has reached 72˚C with
a food thermometer -
(but remember do not use
this thermometer inside the microwave.) or to a
temperature recommended by Government Food
Hygiene Regulations.
For foods that cannot be stirred, e.g. lasagne,
shepherds pie, the centre should be cut with a
knife to test it is well heated through. Even if a
manufacturer’s packet instructions have been
followed, always check the food is piping hot
before serving it. If in doubt return your food to
the oven for further heating.
12. Standing Time
Standing time refers to the period at the end of
cooking or reheating when
food is left before being eaten,
i.e. it is a rest time which
allows the heat in the food to
continue to conduct to the
centre, thus eliminating cold
spots.
13. Keeping Your Oven Clean
It is essential for the safe operation of the oven
that it is wiped out
regularly. Use warm
soapy water. Squeeze
the cloth out well and
use it to remove any
grease or food from the
interior. Pay particular
attention to the door seal
area and also the areas around the microwave
feed guide situated on the right hand side of the
cavity wall. The oven should be unplugged when
cleaned.
14. Babies Bottles and Food Jars
When reheating babies
bottles always remove top
and teat. Liquid at the top of
the bottle will be much
hotter than at the bottom
and must be shaken
thoroughly before checking
the temperature. The lid
must also be removed from babies food jars, the
contents must also be stirred or shaken before
the temperature is checked.
15. Containers
Before use check that utensils/containers are
suitable for use in microwave ovens.
