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
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.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the following
table as a guide.

Instructions
Place the meat on turntable. Shield thinner edges with aluminium
foil. Turn over after half of defrosting time! Stand for 15-30 minutes.
Should poultry start to warm up on the
outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to
stand for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, 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 below.
Hint: Flat food defrosts better than
thick and smaller quantities
need less time than bigger
ones. Remember this hint while
freezing and defrosting food.
