Manual defrosting

Microwaves are an excellent way of
defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of
time. This can be of 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 cover.
Turn over half way, drain off any liquid, and,
if you are defrosting chicken, remove any
giblets as soon as possible. Check the food
occasionally to make sure that it does not
feel warm.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -5 to -4 °F, use the following table
as a guide.

Instructions
First, put chicken pieces first skin-side down, whole chicken first
breast-side-down on a flat ceramic plate. Shield the thinner parts
like wings and ends with aluminium foil. Turn over after half of
defrosting time! Let stand for 15-60 minutes.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen
food start to warm up, shield the parts by
wrapping small strips of aluminium foil
around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the
outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Let
fish, meat, and poultry stand to complete
defrosting. The standing time for complete
defrosting will vary depending on the
quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table
below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than
thick, and smaller quantities need
less time than larger quantities.
