DEFROSTING
Microwaves are excellent for defrosting frozen dishes� Microwaves ensure that frozen
dishes are gradually defrosted in a short time� This can be a great advantage if you receive
unexpected guests� Frozen poultry must be fully defrosted before cooking� Remove any metal
strips and take the product out of the packaging to allow moisture to drain off� Put the frozen
dish on a plate and do not cover it� Turn it over halfway through and drain any moisture�
Remove any organs as soon as possible� Check the dish now and then to ensure that it does
not become too warm� If smaller, thinner parts of the frozen dish become warm, you can
protect them by wrapping them in small pieces of aluminium foil� If the poultry becomes warm
on the outside, press STOP/CANCEL and let it stand for 20 minutes before continuing� Let
fish, meat and poultry stand to defrost further� The standing time for full defrosting depends
on the amount of food you want to defrost� Consult the table on the next page�
Tip: Flat dishes defrost faster than thick ones, and small quantities take less time
than larger ones� Take this into consideration when you freeze the dish and
defrost it�
