 REHEATING ADVICE

For the reheating of foods, follow the advice and guidelines below to ensure food is thoroughly reheated before
serving.

Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately,
see below.
Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and
thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film
and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Sliced meat Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%.
Rearrange at least once to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the meat is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Poultry portions Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover
with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 70%.
Turn over halfway through reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the poultry is thoroughly reheated before serving.

Casseroles Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid and reheat
on 50%.
Stir frequently to ensure even reheating.
NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving.

To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of
food. e.g. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using 100%, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that
cannot be stirred, should be reheated using 50%.

NOTES:
• Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating.
• Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the
size, shape and material of the container.
WARNING:
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from
the container and may cause burns.
• To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content,
e.g. mince pies or Christmas pudding.
• Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire.
• Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the
can.
WARNING:
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature
is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns.

GB-13
 DEFROSTING ADVICE

Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all.
It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.

Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods
in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during
defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping
areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Separate Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate
foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting, e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fillets.
Shield Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming
warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which
reflect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Stand Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not
complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered,
for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.
Turn over It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is
important to ensure thorough defrosting.

NOTES:
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%.
