HEATING / REHEATING GUIDE
To heat or reheat successfully in a microwave oven, it is important to follow several guidelines. Measure the
amount of food in order to determine the time needed to reheat. Arrange the food In a circular pattern for best
results. Room temperature food will heat faster than refrigerated food. Canned foods should be taken out of the
can and placed in a microwave-safe container. The food will heat more evenly if covered with a microwave-safe
lid or vented plastic wrap. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for
reheating cooked food.
