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 When heating liquids, always place a teaspoon in
the container to stop the liquid from boiling over.
When boiling is delayed, the liquid comes to the
boil without the customary steam bubbles. Even if
the container only vibrates a little, the liquid can
boil over a lot or spatter. This can cause injuries
and scalding.
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 several times
during heating. Monitor the temperature.
q Once you have heated up the meals, leave them to
stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so that the
temperature can stabilize.
