thawed before cooking. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still

 DEFROSTING GUIDE
*
Food to be defrosted should be in a suitable microwave proof container and place uncovered on the glass turntable.
*
If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminum foil. This will prevent thin areas becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the
foil does not touch the oven walls.
*

Separate items like minced meat, chops, sausages and mutton as soon as possible.
When BEEP, turn food over. Remove defrosted portions. Continue to defrost remaining pieces.
After defrosting, allow to stand until completely thawed.
*
For example joints of meat and whole chickens should STAND for a minimum of 1 hour before cooking.
