General tips for defrosting
1. Only use microwave-safe dishes for
defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable
plastic).
2. The tables refer to defrosting of raw
foods.
3. The defrosting time depends on the
quantity and the height of the food. When
freezing foods, prepare for the defrosting
process. Distribute the food in parts that
match the size of the container.
4. Distribute the food as well as possible
inside the microwave. The thickest parts
of the fish or the chicken legs should be
placed on top. The most delicate parts
may be protected using aluminium foil.
Important: the aluminium foil should not
come in contact with the walls of the
cavity, as this could cause an electrical
arch.
5. The most dense parts should be turned
around several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food in the most
uniform manner possible, because the
thin, narrow parts defrost fast than the
thickest parts at the top.
7. Foods that are rich in fats, such as
butter, cottage cheese and cream,
should not be entirely defrosted. If they
are at room temperature, they will be
ready to serve within a few minutes. In
the case of deep-frozen cream, if there
are little bits of ice, the cream should be
whipped before eating.
8. Place poultry on a turn over plate so that
the juices may drain more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so
that it does not get too dry.
10. Turn the food at regular intervals.
11. Remove frozen foods from its packaging
and do not forget to remove any metal
clips. If the containers that are used to
keep the foods in the freezer may also be
used for heating and cooking, just
remove the lid. Otherwise, place the
foods in containers that are suitable for
microwave ovens.
12. The liquid that results in the defrosting
process, particularly in the case of
poultry, should be discarded and under
no circumstances should it come in
contact with other foods.
13. Bear in mind that a resting period is
required in defrosting function, so that
the food is totally defrosted. This
normally takes between 15 to 20
minutes.
