DEFROSTING ADVICE

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.

NOTES:

  Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.

  To defrost food, use microwave power levels MEDIUM LOW or LOW.

Rearrange

Separate

Shield

Stand

Turn over

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.

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important 
to separate foods as soon as it is possible during defrosting.
e.g. bacon rashers, chicken fillets.

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 reflect microwaves. e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.

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.

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