Heating and Defrosting Time Charts
APPETIzERS
Quantities of appetizers can be prepared 
conventionally in advance and refrigerated until 
needed. Most appetizers, with the exception of “nacho” 
platters and potato skins, should be heated covered. 
Appetizers of the same basic shape and size can be 
reheated together.
Most cooked appetizers heat on HIGH power, between 
7 and 11 seconds per ounce depending on weight, 
density, and bone content. “Nacho’s” need 30 to 
37 seconds per ounce depending on the amount of 
topping.
All heating times listed in the chart are from 
refrigerated temperatures (40˚F) except for “nacho” 
chips.
