A bowl of vegetables can be reheated using HIGH, while a lasagne which contains ingredients that cannot be stirred, should be reheated using MEDIUM. NOTES: · Remove food from foil or metal containers before reheating. · Reheating times will be affected by the shape, depth, quantity and temperature of food together with the size, shape and material of the container. Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns. · To avoid overheating and fire, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, e. g. · Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. · Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturer's instructions on the can. The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars are to be stirred or shaken and the temperature is to be checked before consumption to avoid burns. 18 COOKBOOK CONTENTS INTRODUCTION, COOKERY NOTES & CONVERSION CHARTS .
