The microwave is an ideal device for defrosting frozen foods quickly
and evenly.
The power output, defrosting and standing time settings must be selected
to suit the consistency and quantity of the food to be defrosted.
Microwaves always penetrate food from the outside and move towards
the inside. Therefore the middle parts of particularly large pieces of food
should not be fully defrosted as in doing this the outside layers may be
burned.
Correct defrosting starts with the original freezing. Take this into account
and proportion the quantities as small as possible, flat and suited your
household requirements. You should also take into account the size of the
bowls or dishes in which you will be defrosting later in the microwave.
The following defrosting table gives the defrosting times of some common
foods. In addition to defrosting times, the table also gives standing times -
all related to the quantity of food. During standing times, heat flows from
the defrosted layers into the centre of the food, which may still be frozen,
and thus temperature differences are evened out. Leave the frozen food
inside or outside of the switched-off microwave during the standing time.
The values given in the table are approximate only and variations may
occur in practice. This can be caused by several factors to do with the
food.
To use the integrated DEFROST function.
• Press the DEFROST button
