DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food
in a short period of time. This can be a great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out
of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without a cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and remove
any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping
very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, press STOP / CANCEL and allow it to stand
for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fi sh, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting.
The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please
refer to the table on the next page.
Hint: Flat food is defrosted better than thicker items, and smaller quantities need less time
than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about - 18 to - 20 °C, use the following table
as a guide.
