Defrosting / Defrosting and reheating or cooking

Defrosting

Select the following microwave power settings to reheat food:

–150 W:

for defrosting delicate foods e.g. milk, bread, cake, fruit etc.

–80 W:

for defrosting very delicate foods, e.g. cream, butter, cheese and gateaux made with cream or butter cream.

Remove the food from its packaging and place in a microwave-proof container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or separate the food about half-way through the defrosting time.

To defrost meat, unpack the frozen meat and lay it on an upturned plate in a glass or china container so that the meat juice can run off and be collected. Turn halfway through defrosting.

After defrosting

Allow the food to stand at room temperature for a few minutes after defrosting to enable the heat to spread evenly throughout the food.

Defrosting followed by reheating or cooking

Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and immediately reheated or cooked.

After defrosting, select 800 watts followed by 450 watts.

Remove the food from its packaging and place in a covered microwave-proof dish for defrosting and reheating or cooking. Exception: Minced meat should be left uncovered while cooking.

Soups, stew and vegetables should be stirred several times during the process. Carefully separate and turn slices of meat half-way through the programme. Turn pieces of meat and fish at the half-way stage.

Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in cardboard trays which, according to manufacturer’s instructions are suitable for use in a conventional oven, are microwave-safe.
