REHEATING FOOD IN THE INFRARED BROILER
Food that has been cooked, reheats exceptionally well in the infrared broiler. Preheat as usual. Use High flame. Turning is optional.
BEFORE REHEATING:
Food should be at room temperature, if possible. Brush fruits and vegetables with butter.
DISTANCE AND TIME:
Varies with thickness and quantity of food. Hamburger, chops, chicken and seafood reheat successfully at the same distance and time required when originally cooked.
Roasted meat, sliced ¼-inch thick, reheats successfully 3 inches from the flame in 2 to 3 minutes. Turning is not necessary.
