Defrosting
The following microwave power levels
are recommended for defrosting:
– 80 W
for defrosting delicate food such as
heavy cream, butter, cheese, etc.
– 150 W
for defrosting all other foods.
^ Take the frozen food from the
packaging and put it in a microwave
safe container. Do not cover. Turn,
stir or separate food about halfway
through the defrosting time.
Defrosting tips
– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost it
so that the surface is soft enough to
adhere seasoning and herbs.
– Turn meat halfway through
defrosting.
Defrosting followed by
reheating or cooking
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and
then immediately reheated or cooked.
^ After defrosting, select 900 W
followed by 450 W.
Remove food from its packaging and
place in a covered microwave-safe
dish. Exception: ground meat should
be left uncovered.
Tips
– Soups, stew and vegetables should
be stirred several times during the
process.
– Carefully separate and turn slices of
meat/fish halfway though the
program.
After defrosting followed by
reheating or cooking
After defrosting allow the food to stand
at room temperature long enough to
distribute the heat evenly throughout
the food.
