Defrosting
Defrosting food in a short time is one of the big-
gest advantages of the microwave oven. First re-
move the metal fastening wires of the frozen food
bags and replace them with thread or rubber. Open
the packaging made of materials such as card-
board 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 even defrosting. (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 even start
being cooked.)
Always keep the defrost time short. If inside of the
defrosted food is still frozen, place it back to the
microwave oven to defrost it some more.
Duration of the defrosting time depends on food's
level of freezing. If possible, turn or take apart the
frozen food during defrosting.
