Reheating
To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the
amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food in a circular pattern
for
best results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken
out of the can and placed in a microwavable container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a
microwavable lid or plastic wrap, vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam bums. Use the
following chart as a guide for reheating cooked food.
