1) Let the food rest at room temperature.
This allows the heat to be distributed more evenly through the food.
2) Place the boiling rod in the container.
3) Times are based on an initial temperature of approx 5 °C.
For food not normally stored in a refrigerator, assume an initial temperature of 20 °C.
All food, except baby food, should be reheated to 70-75°C. See "Guidance on reheating food" for
details.
Take note of the recommended microwave power levels, the time durations and the standing times.
These take the consistency, the quantity and the initial temperature of the food into account.
You are generally advised to select the middle time.
