4.7 REHEAT - ADVICE, TIPS AND TABLE
Your microwave is at its most useful and efficient when reheating food. Compared with traditional
methods, using the microwave saves time and therefore also electricity.
• Especially if frozen, food should be heated to a temperature of at least 70°C (piping hot). You will
have to leave the food to cool down before eating, but complete sterilisation will be guaranteed.
To reheat pre-cooked or frozen food, follow these rules:
- remove food from metal container
- cover with transparent film (suitable for microwave use), or greaseproof paper. This will retain
the natural flavour to the full and the oven will stay clean. You can also cover with an upturned plate;
- if possible, mix or turn frequently to accelerate and uniform the reheating process;
- follow the times given on the pack carefully. Bear in mind that these times will sometimes need
to be increased.
• frozen foods must be defrosted before reheating. The lower the initial temperature of the food the
longer it will take to reheat;

Put on a plate. Mix the icing once.
Remove metal foil. Heat the baby’s bottle without the teat and
mix it immediately after heating to make the temperature
uniform. Check the temperature of the contents before use.
With milk at room temperature the heating time is lower. To avoid risk
of fire when using dried milk please stir evenly. Please use already
sterilized milk.
Packets of any kind of commercially available pre-
cooked food, to be heated to a temp. of 70° C. Remove
the food from any metal packets and put it directly onto
the plate from which it is to be eaten. For best results,
always cover the food.
Portions of any kind of already cooked food, to heat to
a temp. of 70°C. The food is placed directly onto the
plate from which it is to be eaten and is always
covered either with a transparent film or with an
upturned plate.
CHILLED FOOD (initial temp. 5°/8°C) up to 20°/30°C
CHILLED PRECOOKED FOOD (initial temp. 5 / 8°C) up to 70°C
