DEFROSTING ADVICE

Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all.

It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.

Rearrange	Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than
	foods in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to
	4 times during defrosting.
	Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-
	lapping areas.
	This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Separate	Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to
	separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting.
	e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fillets.
Shield	Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them
	becoming warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small
	pieces of foil, which reflect microwaves. e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Stand	Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted.
	Defrosting is not complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven.
	Food must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly
	defrosted.
Turn over	It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting.
	This is important to ensure thorough defrosting.

NOTES:

•Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.

•To defrost food, use microwave power levels MEDIUM LOW or LOW.

•Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 23 for further information.
