To heat or reheat successfully in the microwave, 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 microwavable container. The food will be heated more evenly if covered with a microwavable lid or
plastic wrap, vented. Remove cover carefully to prevent steam burns. Use the following chart as a guide for
reheating cooked food.
