MANUAL DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food.
Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time.
This can be of 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 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, stop thawing
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
below.
Hint : Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller
quantities need less time than bigger ones. Remember
this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to
-20 °C, use the following table as a guide.
