DEFROSTING ADVICE

Using your microwave oven is the quickest defrosting method. It is a simple process but the following instructions are
essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels P-20 to P-40.
• Please refer to the further information below.
Rearrange
Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods in the centre. It is therefore
essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Separate
Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate foods as soon as it is possible
during defrosting.
e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fi llets.
Shield
Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming warmer and starting to cook,
these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which refl ect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Stand
Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted.
Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, for a
length of time to ensure the centre has completely defrosted.
Turn over
It is essential that all foods are turned over up to 4 times during defrosting.
This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.
