Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2 to 3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
¡ Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil halfway
through the defrosting time.
