REHEATING

Your microwave oven will reheat food in a fraction of the time that 

conventional ovens hobs normally take.

Use the power levels and reheating times in the following chart as a guide. 

The times in the chart consider liquids with a room temperature of about 

+18 to +20 °C or a chilled food with a temperature of about +5 to +7 °C.
Arranging and covering

Avoid reheating large items such as joint of meat – they tend to overcook 

and dry out before the centre is piping hot. Reheating small pieces will be 

more successful.
Power levels and stirring

Some foods can be reheated using 750 W power while others should be 

reheated using 600 W, 450 W or even 300 W.

Check the tables for guidance. In general, it is better to reheat food using a 

lower power level, if the food is delicate, in large quantities, or if it is likely to 

heat up very quickly (mince pies, for example).

Stir well or turn food over during reheating for best results. When possible, 

stir again before serving.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby foods. To prevent 

eruptive boiling of liquids and possible scalding, stir before, during and 

after heating. Keep them in the microwave oven during standing time. We 

recommend putting a plastic spoon or glass stick into the liquids. Avoid 

overheating (and therefore spoiling) the food.

It is preferable to underestimate cooking time and add extra heating time, if 

necessary.
Heating and standing times

When reheating food for the first time, it is helpful to make a note of the time 

taken – for future reference.

Always make sure that the reheated food is piping hot throughout.

Allow food to stand for a short time after reheating - to let the temperature 

even out.

The recommended standing time after reheating is 2-4 minutes, unless 

another time is recommended in the chart.

Take particular care when heating liquids and baby food. See also the 

chapter with the safety precautions.

REHEATING LIQUIDS

Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been 

switched off to allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if 

necessary, and ALWAYS stir after heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and 

possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass stick into the beverages 

and stir before, during and after heating.
