Defrosting guidelines

o Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass,
suitable plastic).
o The defrosting time depends on the quantity and weight of 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

cream are deep frozen and little bits of ice remain on the top of
it, the cream should be whipped before eating.

dry when being defrosted.
