DEFROSTING ADVICE

Using your microwave is a very efficient method of defrosting.

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 30% or 10%.

•Please refer to the defrosting chart on page 42 for further information.
