Defrosting
Select the following microwave power
settings to reheat food:
–
150 W:
for defrosting delicate foods e.g.
milk, bread, cake, fruit etc.
–
80 W:
for defrosting very delicate foods,
e.g. cream, butter, cheese and
gateaux made with cream or butter
cream.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a microwave-proof
container. Do not cover. Turn, stir or
separate the food about half-way
through the defrosting time.
To defrost meat, unpack the frozen
meat and lay it on an upturned plate in
a glass or china container so that the
meat juice can run off and be collected.
Turn halfway through defrosting.
After defrosting
Allow the food to stand at room
temperature for a few minutes after
defrosting to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.
Defrosting followed by
reheating or cooking
Deep-frozen food can be defrosted and
immediately reheated or cooked.
After defrosting, select 800 watts
followed by 450 watts.
Remove the food from its packaging
and place in a covered
microwave-proof dish for defrosting and
reheating or cooking. Exception:
Minced meat should be left uncovered
while cooking.
Soups, stew and vegetables should be
stirred several times during the
process. Carefully separate and turn
slices of meat half-way through the
programme. Turn pieces of meat and
fish at the half-way stage.
Deep-frozen pre-cooked meals in
cardboard trays which, according to
manufacturer’s instructions are suitable
for use in a conventional oven, are
microwave-safe.
After defrosting followed by
