Defrosting – power at position

Place the frozen food in a dish. Do not cover.

Ensure that the food does not start to cook during defrosting. If any part of the food should begin to cook, cover it with a small piece of aluminium foil to screen it from the microwaves. If the surface of poultry becomes warm, stop defrosting, leave to stand for 20 minutes before recommen- cing.

The table below applies for frozen food at a temperature between -18 °C and -20 °C.

Leave to stand for the full resting time to be sure that defrosting is complete.

At regular intervals during defrosting, turn the food and pour off any water.

Defrosting must be carried out at a power setting : defrosting
