After heating liquids, it is advisable to leave the container to stand in the
oven for at least 20 seconds. This allows the heat to spread through the
liquid and minimises any risk of overflow and scalding.
Stir the liquid during and after heating.

Defrosting

Place the frozen food in a dish. Do not cover.
At regular intervals during defrosting, turn the food and pour off any
water.
Ensure that the food does not start to cook during defrosting. If any part
of the food should begin to cook, cover it with a small piece of aluminium
foil to screen it from the microwaves.
If the surface of poultry becomes warm, stop defrosting, leave to stand for
20 minutes before recommencing.
Leave to stand for the full resting time to be sure that defrosting is
complete.
The thicker the food, the longer the defrosting time required.
