q Take ready made meals out of their packaging.
They will heat up more quickly and evenly if you
place them in microwavable dishes. Different parts
of the meal may heat up at different rates.
q Food which is laid flat heats up quicker than if it is
piled high. Therefore it is best to spread out the
food so that it lies flat in the container. You should
not place layers of food on top of each other.
q Always cover the food. If you do not have a
suitable lid for your dish, use a plate or special
microwave foil.
q You should stir or turn the food two to three times
during heating.
q Once you have heated up the meals, leave them to
stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so that the
temperature can stabilize.

foil.
