Defrosting and heating frozen food
Recommended settings for defrosting and heating frozen food using the microwave.
Note:
Preparation tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware with a lid. You can also use a plate or microwave film to cover the dish. Take ready
meals out of the packaging.
¡ Distribute the food flat in the cookware. Food which lies flat cooks more quickly than food which is piled high.
¡ Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time.
¡ After heating, leave the food to rest for 1–2ºminutes.
¡ The food transfers heat to the cookware. The cookware can become very hot. Use oven gloves.
