Tips
Freezing and defrosting –
the easy way ...
The microwave is the ideal appliance for even
and quick defrosting of deep-frozen goods. The se-
lection of power, defrosting and standing times de-
pend on the nature and amount of food.
Microwaves always penetrate the food from the out-
side to the inside. Therefore particularly large items
cannot be defrosted right to the middle, otherwise
the outer layers may begin to cook.
Correct defrosting begins with the freezing process.
Consider what you are doing and freeze small, flat
portions suitable for your household. Consider also
the size of the various bowls or plates on which you
wish to defrost the deep-frozen goods later in the
microwave.
In the following defrosting chart, several foods are
listed. You will find a so-called „standing time" as
well as details regarding time and amount. This ser-
ves as a temperature compensation time, in which
the remaining heat from the defrosted layers is trans-
ferred to the still frozen layers in the middle. During
this standing time, leave the deep-frozen goods in
the switched off microwave or outside the applian-
ce.
There may be deviations in the stated values. These
are caused by the different factors of the foods.
