1.Containers
If you are preparing recipes for freezing to
regenerate on Combination, choose containers
that are microwave safe as well as heat-proof and
suitable for freezing.
To make good use of the microwave energy the
containers should not be too deep.
When preparing multi-portion recipes, select a
container that is not too large for cavity of the oven
as this may restrict circulation of the hot air.
2. Reheating two dishes together
Ensure that you serve your recipes in identical
dishes if reheating more than one dish at a time,
so they reheat at the same speed.
NEVER use the Wire Rack Shelf for reheating on
two levels.
3.Memory Programmes
Consistency in preparation and careful choice of
serving dish will mean you can use the Memory
Programmes to reheat a regularly requested item.
Some experimentation may be needed at first to
select the correct setting however as long as you
do not vary from the standard set, you can be
confident of the Memory Programme chosen.
Don’t forget to probe dishes to check that they are
72˚C in the centre, or thickest part, before serving.
4.Increasing Quantities
When increasing quantities, choose an adequately
larger container. If reheating on GRILL
COMBINATION, a larger quantity may need to be
reheated using a Multi-stage (sequential)
programme ie MICROWAVE only then GRILL
COMBINATION as the food does not overbrown
before it is throughly heated through.
