05 COOKING GUIDE MANUAL DEFROSTING Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly show up. Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away. Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid, and, if you are defrosting chicken, remove any giblets as soon as possible. Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm. If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, shield the parts by wrapping small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20 minutes before continuing. Let fish, meat, and poultry stand to complete defrosting. The standing time for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table below. Hint: Flat food defrosts better than thick, and smaller quantities need less time than larger quantities. For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -5 to -4 °F, use the following table as a guide. Food Meat Minced Meat Serving Size 0.6 lbs. 1.1 lbs.
