Defrosting guide

This defrosting guide is based on the condition that frozen food is between -18 °C and -20 °C in internal temperatures. The standing time varies depending on the food type (meat or vegetables) and serving size (thinner or thicker pieces of food).

•Put frozen food in a microwave-safe container uncovered.

•Turn it over halfway through defrosting time and drain well when complete.
