DEFROSTING

Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost 
frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected 
guests suddenly show up.

Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and 
take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.

Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and 
remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by 
wrapping very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.

Should poultry start to warm  up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand 
for 20 minutes before continuing.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing 
time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer 
to the table below.

Hint: 

Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less 
time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and 
defrosting food.

For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the 
following table as a guide.

All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W).
