Shape
Even shapes cook evenly.
Arranging
Individual foods e.g. chicken portions or chops,
should be placed on a dish so that the thicker
parts are to the outside.
Quantity
Small quantities cook faster than large
quantities, also small meals will reheat more
quickly than large portions.
Density
Porous airy foods heat more quickly than
dense heavy foods.
Spacing
Foods cook more quickly and evenly if spaced
apart. NEVER pile foods on top of each other.
Ingredients
Foods containing fat, sugar or salt heat up very
quickly. The filling may be much hotter than the
pastry. Take care when eating. Do not overheat
even if the pastry does not appear to be very
hot.
