Manual Defrost

Follow the procedure for "Cook & Reheat with microwaves" and choose power level 160 W when
defrosting manually.
Check and inspect the food regularly. Experience will give you the times needed for various amounts.
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films or cardboard packages can be placed directly in the oven as long
as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep
block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminum foil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs
and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to underthaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing
time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves the result since the temperature will then be evenly
distributed throughout the food.
