Using the microwave-only function for defrosting
•Foods frozen in bags or plastic sheeting or in their packaging may be placed directly in the oven, as long as they have no metal parts (e.g., bands or closure rivets).
•Certain foods, such as greens, vegetables and fish, do not have to be completely defrosted before you begin cooking them.
•Stewed foods and meats as well as meat sauces defrost better and quicker if they are stirred from time to time, turned over or separated.
•While defrosting, meat and fish lose their liquid content. It is recommended, therefore, that you defrost such items in a tray or basin.
•It is advisable to separate each individual piece of meat from its bag before putting it in the freezer. This will help you save valuable time will preparing foods.
•Be careful about following the cooking times printed on frozen products, because those times are not always correct. It is best to use defrosting times slightly less than those indicated. The time needed for defrosting will vary in terms of the degree to which the food has been frozen.
