Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry and under no circumstances use it for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting
time. Large pieces of food should be turned several
times.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for
a further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature can
even out. The giblets can be removed from poultry at
this point. The meat can also be processed further
when a small part of the core is frozen.
Tips for defrosting
The time has elapsed but the food
is not defrosted, hot or cooked.
Set a longer time. Large quantities
and food which is piled high
require longer times.
Time has elapsed but the food is
overheated at the edge and not
done in the middle.
Stir it during the cooking time and
next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting and a longer
cooking time.
After defrosting, the poultry or
meat is defrosted on the outside
but not defrosted in the middle.
Next time, select a lower micro-
wave power setting. If you are
defrosting a large quantity, turn it
several times.
