Defrosting
Defrosting food in a short time is one of the big-
gest advantages of the microwave oven. First
remove the metal fastening wires of the frozen
food bags and replace them with thread or rub-
ber. Open the packaging made of materials such as
cardboard before placing them into the oven. Cut
or pierce the plastic bags or packages. If the food
is in foil packaging, remove the foil and place the
food in a suitable vessel. (If the frozen food has
skin, remove the skin.) Flex the plastic bag on the
food to provide even defrosting.
(While defrosting large pieces of meat, do not for-
get to cover the thin parts of the poultry in order to
slow down heating. Otherwise, outer parts will dry
out or even start being cooked.)
Always keep the defrost time short. If inside of the
defrosted food is still frozen, place it back to the
microwave oven to defrost it some more.
Duration of the defrosting time depends on food's
level of freezing. If possible, turn or take apart the
frozen food during defrosting.
Defrosting table contains approximate values to
help you.
