Rearrange Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods
in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during
defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping
areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
Separate Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important to separate
llets.
Shield Some areas of food being defrosted may become warm. To prevent them becoming
warmer and starting to cook, these areas can be shielded with small pieces of foil, which
ect microwaves, e.g. legs and wings on a chicken.
Stand Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Defrosting is not
complete once the food is removed from the microwave oven. Food must stand, covered,
for a length of time to ensure the centre has completly defrosted.
Turn over It is essential that all foods are turned over at least 3 - 4 times during defrosting. This is
important to ensure thorough defrosting.
NOTES:
• Remove all packaging and wrapping before defrosting.
• To defrost food, use microwave power levels 30% or 10%.
