It may be that you have different quantities from those
specified in the tables.
A rule of thumb can be applied:
Double amount - just under double cooking time,
half amount
Stir or turn the food several times during the heating
time. Check the temperature.
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
cooking compartment floor.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the
defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned
several times.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry
or fish. Drain off this liquid when turning and under no
circumstances should it be used for other purposes or
be allowed to come into contact with other foods.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature
for a further 10 to 30 minutes so that the temperature
can stabilise. The giblets can be removed from poultry
at this point.
