Defrosting

Defrosting food in a short time is one of the
biggest advantages of the microwave oven. First
remove the metal fastening wires of the frozen
food bags and replace themwith threador rubber.
Open the packaging made of materials such as
cardboard before placing them into the oven. Cut
or pierce the plastic bags or packages. If the food
is in foil packaging, remove the foil and place the
food in a suitable vessel. (If the frozen food has
skin, remove the skin.) Flex the plastic bag on the
food to provide evendefrosting.
(While defrosting large pieces of meat, do not
forget to cover the thin parts of the poultry in
order to slow down heating. Otherwise, outer
parts will dry out or evenstart beingcooked.)
Always keep the defrost time short. If inside of
the defrosted food is still frosty, place it back
to the microwave oven to defrost it some more.
Also provide some time for conditioning during
defrosting; because the defrosting will continue
duringconditioning.
Durationof the defrostingtime depends on food's
level of freezing. If possible, turn or take apart the
frozenfood during defrosting or conditioning.
