Heating and Defrosting Time Charts
APPETIZERS
Quantities of appetizers can be prepared
conventionally in advance and refrigerated until
needed. Most appetizers, with the exception of “nacho”
platters and potato skins, should be heated covered.
Appetizers of the same basic shape and size can be
reheated together.
Most cooked appetizers heat on HIGH power, between
7 and 11 seconds per ounce depending on weight,
density, and bone content. “Nacho’s” need 30 to
37 seconds per ounce depending on the amount of
topping.
All heating times listed in the chart are from
refrigerated temperatures (40˚F) except for “nacho”
chips.
