Microwave defrosting and reheating
119
Defrost
Gentle defrosting of frozen goods
means that the vitamins and minerals
are generally retained.
Risk of infection from bacteria.
Bacteria such as salmonella can
cause serious food poisoning.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
fish and meat, and in particular when
defrosting poultry.
Do not use the liquid produced dur-
ing defrosting.
Process the food as required as soon
as it has been defrosted.
Tips
– Place the frozen food on the glass
tray without its packaging. For larger
quantities, place the food in a micro-
wave-safe container and place this
on the glass tray.
– Frozen ready meals can be defrosted
and then heated at the same time.
Follow the instructions on the pack-
aging.

Start the programme using the OK
sensor control.
During defrosting:
Stir, turn or rearrange the food once
again. Stir the food from the outside
towards the middle, as food heats
more quickly from the outside.
During the standing time, the temperat-
ure is distributed evenly in the food.
After defrosting, allow the food to
stand at room temperature for a few
minutes to enable the heat to spread
evenly throughout the food.
