We do not recommend heating or re-
heating foods or drinks for babies or
young children in the microwave
oven. Any decision to do this is the
responsibility of the user, and should
only be done with the utmost care.
Always remove the lids from jars, es-
pecially jars of baby food. Remove
the rubber teat and seal top before
warming baby bottles.
Pasteurised or sterilised cooked
food should be gently heated at
450 watts, and tasted so that it is not
too hot for a baby's palate before
serving. Other food or drink when re-
heated should be heated to a high
temperature and allowed to cool to a
suitable heat for consumption. For
made-up milk follow the manufac-
turer's instructions.
After reheating stir the food or shake
the container and check that the
temperature does not pose any dan-
ger. Double check after it has been
left to stand.
900 W,
900 W or 600 W
450 W.
Always use a lid or cover for reheating
food, except when a drier finish is
needed, e.g. breaded poultry / meat.
When reheating liquids place the boil-
ing rod supplied into the cup or glass.
Never reheat hard boiled eggs in a mi-
crowave oven, even without the shell.
The eggs can burst.
Do not reheat food in the oven in heat-
retaining bags intended for normal ov-
ens. These usually contain a thin layer
of aluminium foil which reflects micro-
waves. This reflected energy can cause
the outer paper covering to become so
hot that it ignites.
The time required depends largely on
the nature of the food, its initial temper-
ature and the amount to be cooked.
Food taken straight from the refrigerator
takes longer to reheat than food stored
at room temperature.
Always ensure that the food is ade-
quately heated.
If in any doubt that a sufficiently high
temperature has been reached, con-
tinue reheating for a little longer.
Stir or turn food from time to time during
cooking. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats more
quickly from the outside.
