Defrosting guidelines

o Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass,
suitable plastic).
o The defrosting tables featured in this booklet refer to the
defrosting of raw foods.
o The defrosting time depends on the quantity and weight of the
food that you are defrosting. When freezing, you should split the
food into quantities that are suitable for defrosting in the
microwave.
o Distribute the food as evenly as possible within the microwave
cavity. The thickest parts of fish or chicken legs should be
placed on top.
o The thicker parts of the food should be turned around several
times during the defrosting process.
o Foods that are rich in fats, such as butter, cottage cheese and
cream should not be entirely defrosted. If they are at room
temperature, they will be ready to serve within a few minutes. If
cream are deep frozen and little bits of ice remain on the top of
it, the cream should be whipped before eating.
o Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not get too
dry when being defrosted.
