Rearrange

Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods 
in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during 
defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping 
areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Separate

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate 

 llets.

Shield

Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming 
warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which 

 ect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.

Stand

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not 
complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered, 
for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.

Turn over

It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is 
important to ensure thorough defrosting.

NOTES:

•  Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
•  To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%.

Defrosting food using your microwave oven is the quickest method of all.
It is a simple proccess but the following instructions are essential to ensure the food is thoroughly defrosted.
