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 
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, they can be shield by 
wrapping very 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.
Leave the fish, meat and poultry to stand in 
order 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 bigger 
ones. Remember this hint while 
freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to -20 °C, use the following 
table as a guide.
