DEFROST programme
This is the ideal function for defrosting frozen vegetables.
Your microwave oven saves you lots of time to defrost
food use the Defrost or Microwave functions(set to 200W
power).
Tips:
Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately af-
ter defrosting. Larger cuts such as meat roasts or whole
fish will still be slightly frozen at the end of the defrost
programme.
We recommend that you let the food stand for a period
of time at least equal to the defrosting time to ensure an
even temperature.
Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost,
in this case, you should increase the defrosting time.
Recommendations:
The defrosting time depends on the type of appliance.
It also depends on the shape, size, starting temperature
and quality of the food.
In most cases, the food must be removed from its pa-
ckaging.
Remember to remove any metal staples from the pa-
ckaging.
Half way through defrosting, the pieces of food should
be turned over. Stirred ang separated if thy were frozen
together.
Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down sau-
cer on top of a plate to allow the juices to run. If they stay
in contact with the food, they will overheat.
Never refreeze food before cooking it.
