This is a basic chart for food frequently reheated in the microwave oven. Times are based on one serving. For each additional serving, increase the time by 2/3 of the original time. A rule of thumb for reheating foods is 1 1/2 minutes per cup measure or 1 1/2 minutes per 8 ounces of weight. Times can vary depending on quantity and temperature of food to be reheated.
