Reheating
Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food:
Drinks . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8
Food . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6
Food for babies * . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4
(See table on page 12 for ovens with
maximum microwave output of less
than 900/1000 watts.)
* We do not recommend heating or
re-heating foods 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 ut-
most care. Pasteurised or sterilised
cooked food should be gently
heated on level 4, (5 or 6) accord-
ing to model, see table on page 12,
and tasted so that it is not too hot
for a baby’s palate before serving.
Other food or drink when reheated
should be heated to a high tempera-
ture and allowed to cool to a suit-
able heat for eating. For made-up
milk follow the maker’s instructions.
Always use a lid or cover for re-heating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry/meat.
Always remove the lid from jars, es-
pecially jars of baby food.
Remove the rubber teat and seal
top before warming baby bottles.
When re-heating liquids place the
boiling rod supplied with the ma-
chine into the cup or glass.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a
microwave oven, even without the
shell. The eggs can burst.
The time required depends largely on
the nature and initial temperature of the
food and the amount to be cooked.
Food taken straight from the fridge or
freezer requires for example longer to
reheat than food stored at room tem-
perature.
Always ensure that the food is thor-
oughly heated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, con-
tinue re-heating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time dur-
ing cooking. Stir the food from the out-
side towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
