How to Heat or Reheat Several Different Types of Food Together
When heating several different types of food
together, foods which must be served hot must
be placed on the oven shelf, while foods which are
only warmed should be placed on the floor. This is
because microwave energy enters the oven from the
top only. Also, it is important to remember that foods
absorb microwave energy at different rates. Rates
can be affected by the size of the food and its
starting temperature.
Because of the varying rates,
reheating larger or more dense foods a few minutes
ahead of time, then add smaller or less dense foods.
Alternately, if one of the foods you are heating seems
undercooked but the others are heated satisfactorily,
let the underheated food continue cooking.
Heat or reheat different types of food at 10 (High).
To determine heating times, add times for all foods
together. After half of the time, stir or rearrange foods
(do not reverse positions). Check foods (floor
especially) after 3/4 of total time and remove any
which are done. Continue cooking others.
