sing the Microwave for automatic defrosting
The hours of waiting for your food to defrost are finished with your microwave oven! The
microwave is the deep-freeze's best
ally, as it enables you to defrost your frozen food up to ten times quicker than by just
leaving it in the open air.
Recommendations :
- Defrosting times vary depending on the type of apparatus. They also depend on the size,
shape, initial temperature and quality of the food.
- Make sure that you remove any metallic attachments on food packaging when
defrosting.
- If there are any ice crystals on the food, scrape them off beforehand with a knife.
Otherwise the ice will create a screen and slow down defrosting.
- Put meat or fish on an overturned saucer for defrosting. This enables any juice liable to
trigger off a cooking process by being in contact with the food to drip away.
- To make your defrosting as homogeneous as possible, separate chicken escalope, fish
fillets, or pieces of meat as soon as you can.
- Turn the food over or mix it up when it is half-defrosted.
- Leave food to rest after defrosting it. Normally the rest time = defrosting time.
- Never refreeze any defrosted food before it has been cooked.
