foods.

Page 15 www.howdens.com
Defrosting guidelines
t Only use microwave-safe dishes for defrosting (porcelain, glass, suitable plastic).
t The defrosting time depends on the quantity and weight of the food that you are defrosting. When
freezing, you should split the food into quantities that are suitable for defrosting in the microwave.
t Distribute the food as evenly as possible within the microwave cavity. The thickest parts of sh or
chicken legs should be placed on top.
t The thicker parts of the food should be turned around several times during the defrosting process.
t Foods that are rich in fats, such as butter, cottage cheese and cream should not be entirely
defrosted. If they are at room temperature, they will be ready to serve within a few minutes. If
cream are deep frozen and little bits of ice remain on the top of it, the cream should be whipped
before eating.
t Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not get too dry when being defrosted.
t Remove frozen food from its packaging and do not forget to remove any metal clips. If the
containers are suitable for placing in a freezer and a microwave, then you can simply remove the
lid.
t The liquid that is created during the defrost process, particularly in the case of poultry should be
discarded. Under no circumstances should it come into contact with other foods.
t A resting period is required when defrosting food, to ensure that the food is totally defrosted. This
normally takes between 15 – 20 minutes.
