Reheat
Commercial frozen foods —
These foods should
be removed from their foil containers if possible and
placed into suitable microwave safe containers.
If a foil container is used in the microwave oven
it shouldn’t be more than 4 cm high and must not
touch the interior of the microwave oven. Remove
the cover from the tray and replace with paper towel
or plastic wrap to prevent splattering.
Foods to be served at room temperature —
For
best results, defrost for a short time and allow to
stand to complete thawing, e.g. frozen cake.
Vacuum sealed pouches —
Pierce pouches,
bags before heating to allow steam to escape. This
prevents bursting.

Containers —
Use dishes about the same volume
of the food or slightly larger to allow for stirring.
Remove or release snap seal lids other wise they will
pop during heating and may dis
fi
gure.
Pies and pastries —
Pies and pastries that contain
raw pastry and
fi
lling cannot be cooked in the
microwave oven. Precooked products can be thawed
and heated. Place them on a sheet of paper towel
and elevate on plastic rack for best results. For
added crispness place under the grill or in a hot oven
for few minutes. Pastry items can become tough and
rubbery if overheated, remember to allow 5 minutes
standing then test before adding extra heating time.
