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.
