Cooking guide
Defrosting
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently
defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if
unexpected guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed
before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow
thawed liquid to drain away. Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn
over half way, drain off any liquid and remove any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and
thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping
very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry
start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20
minutes before continuing. Leave the sh, meat and poultry to stand in order
to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary
depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below.
NOTE
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than
bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the
following table as a guide.
