ADVICE FOR REHEATING !
WARNINGS: Oil & Fat: Never heat oil or fat for deep frying as this may lead to overheating and fire. Stand back when opening the oven door to allow heat or steam to disperse. When removing covers (such as cling-film), opening roasting bags or popcorn packaging, direct steam away from face and hands.
Never heat liquids in narrow-necked containers, as this could result in the contents erupting from the container and may cause burns. � 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. � To avoid overheating and fire, spacial care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, mince pies, Christmas pudding. � Canned potatoes should not be heated in the microwave oven, follow the manufacturers' instructions on the can. Plated meals Remove any poultry or meat portions, reheat these separately, see below. Place smaller items of food to the centre of the plate, larger and thicker foods to the edge. Cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 50%, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Ensure thoroughly reheated before serving.
