Defrosting tips
Microwaves penetrate approximately 4cm into most foods, to maximise defrosting
effects, the following is advised:
•For thick and chunky foods, turn the food regularly during operation in order to
obtain uniform thawing.
•If food is over 2.0kg it is advised to turn it a minimum of two times.
•Do not refreeze food once defrosted.
•The following table provides a guide to defrost times for various foods:
Food Type
Weight Range
Defrost Time
Meat
0.1-1.0kg
1min 30sec –26min
