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. · 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, special care must be taken when reheating foods with a high sugar or fat content, for example, minced pies or 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 50P, stir/rearrange halfway through reheating. Casserole Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid, reheat on 50P. Poultry portions Place thickest parts of the portions on the outside of the dish, cover with vented microwave cling film and reheat on 70P. Reheat meat pies on 70P and fruit pies on 50P. Vegetables Cover with vented microwave cling film or suitable lid and reheat on 50P.
