We do not recommend heating
or reheating food or drinks for
babies or young children in the
microwave oven. Any decision to do
this is the responsibility of the user,
and should only be done with the
utmost care. Pasteurised or
sterilised cooked food should be
gently heated for
1
/
2
to 1 minute at
450 W, and tasted to make sure it is
not too hot for a baby's palate
before serving. When reheating
other food or drink, heat to a high
temperature and allow to cool to a
suitable heat for eating. For formula
milk follow the manufacturer's
instructions.
Tips on reheating
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.
,
Always remove the lids from
jars, especially jars of baby food.
Loosen the screw cap with the
rubber teat before warming baby
bottles.
Stirring liquid before it heats up can
help to prevent it boiling over.
After heating it up wait for at least 20
seconds before removing the
container from the oven. Placing a
suitable glass rod or utensil in the
container whilst heating liquid can
also help prevent the liquid from
boiling over.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the
shell. The eggs can burst.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
will take longer to reheat than food
stored at room temperature. The
duration required depends on the
nature of the food, its initial temperature
and the amount to be cooked.
Always ensure that food is
sufficiently cooked or reheated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached,
continue reheating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time during
cooking. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats more
quickly from the outside.
