TIPS ON dEFROSTING
• Before defrosting meat, remove the
freezer bag or wrap to prevent meat
sitting in ‘drip’, which will otherwise
boil as the meat defrosts causing meat
to go grey and begin to stew. To remove
frozen meat from freezer wrappings,
defrost for a few minutes so the wrap is
easy to remove.
• Remove meat from Styrofoam tray, as
they are not microwave safe.
• Place meat onto a rack with a drip tray
to catch juices. Alternatively, place onto
a microwave safe plate that is lined
with absorbent paper and elevate on an
upturned bowl or cup.
• Refer to your user manual for its
preferred setting and timing.
• Check the meat throughout the
defrosting time. As outer portions
of meat thaw, remove them from the
microwave. If the edges of meat feel
warm, stop microwaving and allow meat
to stand for a few minutes or until edges
are cold again.
• After defrosting the meat it must be
cooked right away. Don’t leave it to
stand for any length of time at room
temperature or in the fridge.
• The energy required for defrosting
is much less than for cooking, the
microwave causes the ice formed in the
food to melt rather than heat.
