cooking guide

Guide for 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 microwave-safe plate 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 

aluminum foil around them during defrosting. Should poultry start to warm up on the 

outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before continuing. Leave 

the meat, poultry and fish 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. All frozen food should be defrosted 

using defrosting power level (30 %).

Meat 
Minced Meat

7-8

5-30

Pork/Beef Steaks

9-10

5-30

Shield the edges with aluminum foil. Place the meat in the 

middle of microwave-safe plate, and then place the plate 

on top of the turntable in the center. Turn over after half of 

defrosting time.

Poultry
Chicken Pieces

8-9

10-30

Whole Chicken 

9-10

10-30

Before defrosting, if there are a lot of ice crystals on poultry 

surface, you’d better rinse under cold water to remove ice 

crystals and stand 5 to 10 min. at room temperature. Shield 

the thinner parts like wings and ends with aluminum foil. Place 

the chicken pieces first skin-side down, whole chicken first 

breast-side down in the middle of microwave-safe plate, and 

then place the plate on top of the turntable in the center. Turn 

over after half of defrosting time.

Fish
Fish Fillets

9-10

5-30

Shield narrow ends with aluminum foil. Arrange the thinner 

parts under the thicker parts. Place the fish in the middle of 

microwave-safe plate, and then place the plate on top of the 

turntable in the center. Turn over after half of defrosting time. 

Bread
Bread Rolls

(each about 50 g)

2½-4½

5-20

Toast/Sandwich

5-6

5-20

Arrange rolls in a circle or bread horizontally in the middle of 

microwave-safe plate, and then place the plate on top of the 

turntable in the center. Turn over after half of defrosting time.
