RECHAUFFE

Rules for Reheating Food

  1. Reheat, but do not recook the food so as not to render it indigestible.
  2. When reheating, always add extra seasoning and flavouring to regain in the lost flavour.
  3. Serve with suitable accomplishments to improve the nutritive quality.
  4. Since a short time is required for reheating, any new ingredients to be added should be precooked.
  5. Divide food finely when possible so that the seasoning and heat will penetrate quickly. This helps to prevent hardening of the protein and fibres.
  6. Consider how much food has been previously cooked and also the size of the pieces before deciding on the method of reheating
  7. Always remove skin, bone, gristle and any unnecessary fat.
  8. As foods lose moisture when reheated, moisten them well but do not make them soggy.
  9. Coat food where necessary to protect from direct heat, e.g.
  • Use starchy root vegetables for shepherd’s pie, fish pie.
  • Use egg and crumbs for fish cakes, yam cake.
  1. Use quick method of cooking eg. frying.
  2. Always garnish to make food attractive.
  3. Serve daintily when hot.
