摘要
Temperature distribution during microwave reheating was studied with different food models: 10% starch gel in family-serving size microwavable dishes and two laboratory-formulated food products (spaghetti with meat sauce, rice and-salmon with white sauce) similar to commercial sous vide products in small trays. The study revealed rather uneven temperature distribution in all test samples, with corners registering close to boiling temperatures while interior locations were still below 50C. This distribution could be normalized by prolonged full power heating with lid on or in some instances by heating at lower power levels.
