DEFROSTING TIPS
•
Before starting, make sure you have removed any of
the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food
bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
•
Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
•
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
•
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a
suitable container.
•
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.
•
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even
defrosting.
•
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icy in the center, return it to the
microwave oven for more defrosting.
•
The length of defrosting time varies according to
how solidly the food is frozen.
•
The shape of the package affects how quickly food
will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
•
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more evenly.
•
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts
of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or
areas that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does
not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
•
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
(For more information on standing time, see “Micro-
wave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)
•
Turn food over during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
