Cooking Frozen Foods
Frozen food requires extra care when being pre-
pared in a microwave because most package
instructions are based on a certain oven. Know the
output power of your particular oven. If your oven is
of a different wattage than that stated on the packet,
adjustments to the cooking times will be required.
INCREASE the cooking time in
1
minute incre-
ments Where possible stir each time then leave to
stand for at least 3 minutes.
Tips on Reheating Food
. Arrange foods for reheating on the plate so that
the thicker, denser and meatier portions are to the
outer edge of the dish, where they will receive the
maximum amount of energy, and the thinner
areas to the center where they will get less.
l
When plating up meals for reheating, try to ensure
that the food is arranged in an even layer.
l
Cover foods when reheating with a layer of
pricked cling film to retain moisture.
l
When reheating, observe the standing time
recommened in cooking procedures to make
maximum use of the microwave energy and to
prevent overcooking of the reheated dish.
l
The times in the reheating chart refer to foods at
room temperature. Allow extra time if the food is
refrigerated or frozen.
. When reheating potatoes in their jackets, breads
pastries or moist foods, place them on a sheet of
absorbent paper towel so that it may absorb the
moisture during the reheating time.
l
If you are in any doubt about a food losing
moisture during reheating, warp it in a tight skin of
cling film, piercing the cling film in a couple of
places.
l
Stir foods regularly during the reheating process.
If stirring is not possible, then rotate the food or
dish or re-arrange during the reheating time.
