Heating and Defrosting Time Charts
FISH AND SEAFOOD
Defrost
Fish and seafood can be defrosted and heated successfully in this microwave oven. To defrost evenly, fish should be arranged in a single layer in container and should only be thawed to the point of being flexible so it does not begin to cook at the edges.
Fish/Seafood—Primary Cooking
Primary Cooking
Cooking individual portions demands close attention as well as slight undercooking. Delicate fish and shellfish should always be cooked covered and should rest after heating.
