Defrosting Guide - John Lewis JLMWCM006 User Manual

Defrosting guide

1 Defrost meats in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present.
2 Remove any metal rings, twist ties, wire or foil.
3 Place meat in a microwavable plate to catch juices. Defrost meats only as long as necessary.
4 Separate items like chops, sausages and bacon as soon as possible.
5 Remove defrosted portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces.
6 Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the centre of the meat
using moderate pressure. The centre will still be icy.
7 Allow to stand until completely thawed.
