Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Preparation For Freezing:

1.Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.

2.Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.

3.Remove as much air as possible.

4.Seal securely, date, and label.

To Defrost:

1.Remove wrapper. This helps moisture to evaporate. Juices from food can get hot and cook the food.

2.Set food in microwave safe dish.

3.Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.

4.Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.

5.Drain liquids during defrosting.

6.Turn over (invert) items during defrosting.

7.Shield edges and ends if needed. (See Cooking Techniques).

After Defrosting:

1.Large items may be icy in the center. Defrosting will complete during STANDING TIME.

2.Let stand, covered, following stand time directions on page 14.

3.Rinse foods indicated in the chart.

4.Items which have been layered should be rinsed separately or have a longer stand time.

Additionally, a user-friendly interface with a clear, easy-to-read LED display makes programming the microwave straightforward, even for those less familiar with technology.

This model features a robust selection of cooking options, including a variety of preset buttons for popular dishes. With options for popcorn, pizza, and beverages, users can quickly choose the correct settings without second-guessing. The sensor cooking feature is another highlight, automatically adjusting power levels and cooking times based on the moisture released from foods, taking the guesswork out of cooking.

Safety is also a priority for Panasonic, and the NN-SD297 includes a child safety lock to prevent unintended use. This feature is essential for families with young children, providing peace of mind for parents.

In conclusion, the Panasonic NN-SD297 countertop microwave oven combines advanced inverter technology with a user-friendly design.
