TIPS ON DEFROSTING
• The energy required for defrosting is much
less than for cooking, the microwave causes
the ice formed in the food to melt rather
than heat.
• Before defrosting meat, remove the freezer
bag or wrap to prevent meat sitting in
'drip', which will otherwise boil as the meat
defrosts causing meat to go grey and begin
to stew. To remove frozen meat from freezer
wrappings, defrost for a few minutes so the
wrap is easy to remove.
• Remove meat from Styrofoam tray, as they
are not microwave safe.
• Place meat onto a rack with a drip tray
to catch juices. Alternatively, place onto
DURATION
a microwave safe plate that is lined
with absorbent paper and elevate on an
1 minute
upturned bowl or cup.
2 minutes
• Refer to your user manual for its preferred
setting and timing.
3 minutes
• Check the meat throughout the defrosting
4 minutes
time. As outer portions of meat thaw,
5 minutes
remove them. If the edges of meat feel
warm, stop microwaving and allow meat to
6 minutes
stand for a few minutes or until edges are
cold again.
• After defrosting the meat it must be cooked
right away. Don't leave it to stand for any
length of time at room temperature or in the
fridge.
