Defrosting Guidelines - Panasonic Inverter NN-A775 Cookery Book

Defrosting Guidelines

The biggest problem when defrosting food in a
microwave is to get the inside defrosted before
the outside starts to cook.
For this reason Panasonic have made the
defrosting on your oven CYCLIC DEFROST,
just select the 270 watts DEFROST
and set the required time. The oven then
divides this time into 8 stages. These stages
alternate between defrosting (total of 4) and
standing (total of 4).
During the standing stages there is no
microwave power in the oven, although the
light will remain on and the turnatable will turn.
The automatic stand times ensure a more
even defrost and for small items the usual
pad stand time can be eliminated.

Tips for Defrosting
MINCED MEAT OR CUBES OF MEAT AND SEAFOOD
Since the outside of these foods quickly defrosts, it is
necessary to separate them, break the blocks into pieces
frequently while defrosting and remove them when they have
defrosted.
SMALL PORTIONS OF FOOD
Chops and chicken pieces must be separated as soon as
possible so that they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty parts
and the ends defrost more quickly. Place them near the
centre of the turntable or protect them.
