• AUTOMATIC MICRO-WAVE DEFROSTING
With your new micro-wave, say goodbye to hours of waiting for your food to defrost! The micro-
wave is the freezer's best ally, making it possible to defrost food up to 10 times quicker than
at room temperature.
Tip:
Defrosting time depends on the type of appliance. It also depends on the shape, size,
initial temperature and quality of the food.
Be sure to remove the metallic tie from the defrosting bag when defrosting food directly in
the bag.
If there are any ice crystals on the food, remove them with a knife, otherwise the ice will
act as a screen and the food will take longer to defrost.
Defrost meat and fish by placing it on an upside-down saucer on a plate; this will allow any
juices to drain away which otherwise would cause the food to begin to cook if left in
contact with it.
In order to obtain even defrosting, as soon as possible separate poultry breasts or fish
fillets and break apart cubes of meat.
Turn over or stir food half-way through defrosting.
Leave the food to stand after defrosting. General guidelines: resting time = defrosting time.
Never refreeze food unless it has been cooked.
