Microwave defrosting and reheating
Tips on reheating
Danger of burning!
Food for babies and children must
not be too hot.
Only heat food for babies and
children for 30–60 seconds at 450 W.
Pressure can build up when
reheating in sealed containers, jars
or bottles, causing them to explode.
Do not cook or reheat food or liquids
in sealed containers, jars or bottles.
With baby bottles, the screw top and
teat must be removed.
Eggs can explode when using
microwave power.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs using
the Microwave function even
without the shell.
When boiling and in particular when
reheating liquids using microwave
power, the boiling point of the liquid
may be reached without the
production of typical bubbles. The
liquid does not boil evenly
throughout.
This so-called 'boiling delay' can
cause a sudden build up of bubbles
when the container is removed from
the oven or shaken. This can lead to
the liquid boiling over suddenly and
explosively. The formation of bubbles
can be so strong that the pressure
forces the oven door open.
To avoid this, always wait a minimum
of 20 seconds before removing the
container from the oven and place a
suitable glass rod or utensil into the
cup or glass when heating liquids.
