Defrosting with the microwave
Note:
Cooking tips
¡ Freeze the food flat.
¡ Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡ Place the cookware on the bottom of the cooking compartment.
¡ Turn or stir the food 2 to 3times during this time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes during defrosting.
¡ Liquid is produced when defrosting meat or poultry. When turning, drain off any liquid. Do not use this for other
purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
¡ After turning, remove any minced meat that has already defrosted.
¡ Separate any defrosted parts when turning.
¡ To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30minutes in the appli-
ance after switching it off.
