Reheat
Converting recipes from other sources
One of the most common uses for a microwave
oven is to reheat food. Your Panasonic microwave
allows you to either reheat by placing food into the
oven and you choose the micro power level and
length of heating time or you may reheat
automatically by using the SENSOR REHEAT or
AUTO REHEAT buttons on your microwave.
Following are some directions for reheating pre-
cooked foods from either frozen refrigerator
temperature or room temperature.
General rules for reheating foods by Micro
Power
• Many convenience foods contain heating
instructions on the packaging. It is best to follow
these instructions, being sure to check the wattage
of the oven they used and adjust the cooking time
if necessary (decrease cooking time by 10% for
every 100watts more powerful your oven is).
• If package directions are not available, follow the
recommendations in the charts on the following
pages.
• All foods must be pre-cooked; raw foods will not
cook through during reheating times and if
consumed may cause illness.
• Do not reheat in foil containers, cans or plastic
containers as incorrect heating times will result.
Place foods into microwave safe bowls or onto
dinner-plates before heating.
• Most foods can be heated on P10 but consider if
the food is delicate in structure like baked custard
or you have a large quantity, a lower power level
for slightly longer may be gentler.
• Cover foods with plastic wrap if you require a
steamed effect or leave uncovered for a drier
surface, e.g. Crumbed foods.
Note: when cooking by Sensor Cook all food must
be covered.
• Stir or re-arrange foods during heating as this will
help food heat evenly. Stir after heating and let
stand for 2 to 3 minutes. Check temperatures
before adding extra heating time and ensure food
is hot. If food is not heated enough, consumption
may cause illness.
Reheating by Sensor Cook (S)
(125 g - 1.0 kg)
• Reheating by Sensor is suitable for pre-cooked
foods. There is a setting for frozen and refrigerator
temperature or room temperature foods. It is
suitable for casseroles, plated meals, soup, stews,
pasta dishes (except lasagne) and canned foods.
• Do not reheat bread or pastry products, raw
uncooked food or beverages on Sensor Reheat.
• Foods greater than 1 kg or smaller than 125 g
should be cooked by micro power and time.
• Follow general directions for heating as above.
• Cover foods securely with plastic wrap or a fitted
lid, which does not snap seal.
• During the heating time, the oven will 'beep' and
prompt you to stir/rearrange the food. There is no
need to recover if not required.
• After heating, stir the food, check it is hot and
allow standing for 2 to 3 minutes.

Reheating by Auto Cook
ÅÅ
(250 g - 850 g)
• Foods weighting less than 200 g and more than
900 g should be heated by micro power and time.
• Auto Cook has 2 settings one for heating frozen
foods and one for heating foods from refrigerator
or room temperature.
• Suitable foods include casseroles, plated dinners,
soups, stews, pasta dishes. (except lasagne) and
canned foods.

uncooked foods or beverages.
• Cover foods loosely with plastic wrap or a lid,

cooking time, stir the food, check it is hot and allow
standing 2 to 3 minutes.
