Exceptions:
– Pre-cooked meals in aluminum foil
containers can be defrosted and
reheated in the microwave, if
recommended by the manufacturer.
Important: Remove the lid before
heating the food.
The food is heated only from above.
To heat the food evenly place it in a
container suitable for microwaving.
Make sure that the aluminum foil is
at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the
microwave walls at all times. It must
not touch the walls.
– For even defrosting and to avoid
overcooking unevenly shaped cuts
of meat, poultry or fish, small pieces
of aluminum foil may be used to
mask wing-tips or other thin parts for
the last few minutes of the process.
– Metal meat skewers or clamps
should only be used if they are small
in comparison to the size of the
meat.
