How to Heat or Reheat Several Different Types of Food Together

When heating several different types of food together,

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,

you may need to start

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 High (10).

To determine heating times,

Questions and Answers

—

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

Checking the finished internal temperature at

the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs.. check with thermometer

at half-hour intervals after half the cookhg time

has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

Roasts are easier to

slice

if allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

It is rarely necessary to preheat your oven. Preheat

only

fo~

very-small roasts, which cook in a short

length of time.

Q. When buying a- roas~

are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes.

Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

Sealing the foil will. steam the meat. Leaving it

unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.
