Fish and Seafood
Defrost
Fish and seafood can be defrosted and heated successfully in this microwave oven. To defrost evenly, fish
should be arranged in a single layer in container and should be only thawed to the point of being flexible so it
does not begin to cook at the edges.
Primary Cooking
Cooking individual portions demands close attention as well as slight undercooking. Delicate fish and shellfish
should always be undercooked and should allow to rest after heating.
