Arrange food in a single layer.
Turn or break up food as soon as possible.
Shield chickens and joints of meat.
By selecting the
defrost
power level from
the microwave power key and setting a time,
you can defrost food in your microwave.
The biggest problem is getting the inside
defrosted before the outside starts to cook.
For this reason a defrost program alternates
between a defrost power and a standing
time. The name for this type of defrost is
cyclic. During the standing stages there is not
any microwave power in the oven, although
the light will remain on.
The automatic stand times ensure a more
even defrost but it is still necessary to allow
for standing times before use.
For Best Results
1. Place foods in a suitable container.
Meat joints and chickens should be
placed on an upturned saucer or on a
plastic rack if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as foods
vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially
when the oven “beeps”. Shield if
necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat, chops, chicken portions
and other small items should be broken
up or separated as soon as possible
and placed in a single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is
essential when defrosting chickens and
joints of meat. The outside thaws out
rst, so protect wings/breast and fat
with smooth pieces of aluminium foil
secured with cocktail sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the centre
of the food thaws out. (Minimum of
1 hour for joints of meat and whole
chickens).
