Remove all packaging from the food to be defrosted,
and weigh the food. You will need to know the weight
in order the set the programme.
Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of chickens
or fish tails can be covered with small pieces of
aluminium foil. This prevents the food from cooking
too quickly. Ensure that the foil does not touch the
oven walls.
Place the food in a shallow, microwaveable dish,
e.g. a glass or china plate. Do not cover the dish.
The defrosted food should be left to stand for
10 30 minutes to allow the temperature to stabilise.
Large pieces of meat need to stand for longer than
small ones. Thinly cut pieces of meat and mince
should be separated before being left to stand.
The food can then be prepared further, even though
thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.
With poultry, the giblets can be removed at this point.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry
or fish. Under no circumstances should this liquid be
used or be allowed to come into contact with other
foods.
