Defrosting
•
The function labeled
products. Energy created by the microwaves heats the external layer of the product,
and the heat slowly seeps into the interior of the product. This ensures even
defrosting of the food product.
•
Prior to defrosting, remove the packaging from the product and place the product on
a plate.
•
While defrosting proceed in accordance with the following instruction:
Covering
Food products should be covered, in order to:
quicken their heating,
o
avoid drying out,
o
avoid splattering of grease in the cooking chamber,
o
Exceptions: bread, baked goods, breaded food products and products which are
supposed to be crunchy should not be covered.
Turning over / mixing
Practically all food products should turned over and/or mixed at least once during
defrosting. Sticky pieces of food should be separated as quickly as is possible.
Smaller portions
Smaller portions defrost more evenly and quicker than larger ones. For this reason,
divide food products into smaller pieces prior to defrosting. An entire meal can thus be
quickly and easily prepared.
Delicate foods
Delicate foods such as pate / cakes, cream, cheese or bread should be only partially
defrosted, and the defrosting process should be finished at room temperature. In this
manner you will avoid a situation where the food is too hot on the outside while still
frozen on the inside.
Leaving dishes out
The time for leaving dishes out following defrosting is very important, as it guarantees
continuation of the defrosting process. After defrosting, the defrosted food product
should be cooked as soon as possible. Do not re-freeze defrosted food products.
