COOKING GUIDE
Hint :
Thin food defrosts better than thick food, and smaller quantities
need less time than bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and
defrosting food. For defrosting frozen food with a temperature of about
-18 to -20 °C, use the following table as a guide. All frozen food should be
defrosted using defrosting power level (30 %).

Before defrosting, if a lot of ice crystals are
present on the poultry surface, it should
be rinsed under cold water until all the ice
crystals are removed. The poultry should
then be left to stand for 5 to 10 min. at
room temperature. Shield the thinner parts
like wings and ends with aluminum foil.
Place chicken pieces skin-side down,
and whole chicken breast-side down on
the middle of a flat microwave-safe plate.
Position the plate in the centre of the
turntable. Turn the poultry over after half of
the defrosting time has elapsed.
