Defrosting

A built in combi microwave is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to get the best of both worlds when it comes to cooking. These multi-functional appliances are not only capable of defrosting food, grilling it and baking it, but also have many clever functions that enable you to get many different outcomes.

Microwave ovens are great for defrosting food quickly and evenly. Most models have a Defrost setting. This setting asks you to enter the type of food item, the weight, and calculate the optimal time for defrosting based on those factors. You can also make use of the manual defrost option by placing food items on a microwave-safe plate and following the directions on the interactive display of your microwave.

The defrost function in a microwave operates by resetting the magnetron, which generates high frequency that turn food on and off. The defrost mode uses less power than other settings (around 20-30% of total output) this allows it to melt the food more slowly and without overcooking. You may need to rotate your food or break up larger pieces of meat in order to ensure even defrosting.

It is important to remember that defrosting food items in the fridge can take longer than in the microwave. However you can cook the remainder of the meal while it is defrosting. It is also important to note that letting defrosted meat sit out at temperatures that are too hot could encourage the growth of bacteria. Defrosting meat an hour or more before cooking is a good way to prepare for. To help you plan your meal, many microwaves come with a useful timer feature which shows how long remains on the defrosting cycle.
