[. . . ] It is important to separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves. 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. It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is important to ensure thorough defrosting. Separate Shield Stand Turn over NOTES: · Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting. · To defrost food, use microwave power levels MEDIUM LOW or LOW. · Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 20 for further information. 17 UK R-249 O/M, -P24 03. 12. 3 3:59 PM Page 18 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 MEDIUM, stir/ rearrange halfway through reheating. Place thickest parts of the portions to the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on MEDIUM HIGH. Cover with vented microwave cling film or a suitable lid and reheat on MEDIUM. NOTE: Ensure the food is thoroughly reheated before serving. Sliced meat Poultry portions Casseroles To achieve the best results when reheating, select a suitable microwave power level appropriate to the type of food. A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using HIGH, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using MEDIUM. 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. 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. · 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. 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. 18 UK R-249 O/M, -P24 03. 12. 3 3:59 PM Page 19 COOKBOOK CONTENTS INTRODUCTION, COOKERY NOTES & CONVERSION CHARTS .
