Defrosting

“micro” mode – power at 180 W

Place the frozen food in a dish. Do not cover.

At regular intervals during defrosting, turn the food and pour off any water.

Ensure that the food does not start to cook during defrosting. If any part of the food should begin to cook, cover it with a small piece of aluminium foil to screen it from the microwaves.

If the surface of poultry becomes warm, stop defrosting, leave to stand for 20 minutes before recommencing.

Leave to stand for the full resting time to be sure that defrosting is com- plete.

The thicker the food, the longer the defrosting time required.

The table below applies for frozen food at a temperature between -18 °C and - 20 °C.

Defrosting must be carried out at a power setting of 180 W.
