Reheating Select the following microwave power levels to reheat food and drinks: Drinks 900 W Food 600 W Food for babies and toddlers . . . 450 W ,Be sure that baby/toddler food does not become too hot. Heat for only 1/2 to 1 minute at 450 W. Tips for reheating Always use a lid or plate cover for reheating food, except when a drier finish is desired, e.g. breaded poultry/ meat. ,Always remove the lids from jars, especially jars of baby food. Remove the screw cap and nipple before warming baby bottles. If you are unsure whether a sufficiently high temperature has been reached, continue reheating a little longer. Larger amounts of food should be stirred or turned from time to time during cooking. Stir the food from the outside towards the middle, as food heats more quickly from the outside. After reheating Be careful when removing dishes from the appliance. They may be hot. Although heat is not normally produced in the cookware itself by the microwaves (apart from stoneware), heat is transferred from the food to the container, which can cause the container to become hot. When reheating liquids, place the boiling stick supplied with the appliance into the cup or glass. Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a microwave oven, even without the shell. The eggs can explode. Food taken straight from the refrigerator will take longer to reheat than food stored at room temperature. The cooking time required depends on the texture of the food, its initial temperature and the amount to be cooked. Allow food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes after reheating so that the heat can spread evenly throughout the food and so that a consistent temperature is reached. ,After reheating food/drinks, especially for babies and small children, stir it or shake the container and check that the temperature does not pose any danger. Always ensure that food is sufficiently reheated. 35
