Take readyĆmade 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.
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.
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable lid

for your dish, use a plate or special microwave foil.
You should stir or turn the food two to three times

during heating.
Once you have heated up the meals, leave them to

stand for another 2 to 5 minutes so that the

temperature can stabilize.
The individual taste of the food is retained to a large

degree. You can therefore go easy on salt and spices.
