Defrosting
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be a 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 a 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.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, press STOP/CANCEL button 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 on the next page.
Hint:
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following
table as a guide.

Flat food is defrosted better than thicker items, and smaller quantities need
less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting
food.
