Defrosting Tips and Techniques
Preparation for Freezing
The quality of the cooked foods comes from the foods before freezing, freezing ways and defrosting tips and times. So it is important
to purchase fresh and high quality foods. And freeze them immediately. Thick cling film, package, freezing wrap and the meat which
has been sealed before selling are all able to be reserved in the refrigerator for some times.
NOTES
1. Please remove the aluminum foil if the package is made of aluminum to prevent arcing.
2. The foods in the refrigerator should be kept under -0.4 °F (-18 ˚C). (At least 24 hours in freezer before defrosting.)
3. When freezing meats, poultry and fish or seafood, the foods should be arranged evenly and wrap as 1-2 inches (2.5 cm - 5 cm) square
or a round shape.
4. Please clean the whole chicken before freezing. (The bowels can be frozen individually.) Clean the whole chicken and make it dry.

5. Remove all air and seal securely. Label package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.
Turbo Defrost
The Turbo defrost function is operated based on the weight of foods. Most cut foods such as chicken, meat and fish can be defrosted
by using this function easily. Set weight based on the real weight of foods, and the microwave oven will set the power and time
automatically. The display window will display the time of defrost after setting. The foods listed in the below table are the most
suitable for using defrost function. The minimize weight is 0.1 lb (100 g) and the maximum is 6 lbs (3000 g) for getting the best result.
Foods
Meat loaf, whole chicken, rib
Beef, lamb, chicken portions
Whole fish, shellfish, prawn and fish fillet
Tips for Turbo defrost
Boneless meat always demands longer time to defrost than meat with bones, as to meat with bones, we recommend to subtract
1.1 lbs (500 g) from total weight when it exceeds 4 lbs (2000 g), subtract 0.4-0.6 lb (200 - 300 g) from total when it weights under 4 lbs
(2000 g).
