GENERAL INFORMATION
DEFROSTING
Thawing food, especially meats, using the microwave
oven is not only faster than any other method but it can
also give better results.
Once frozen meat is thawed, it begins to lose its juices.
With a microwave oven you can thaw meat just before
you plan to cook it, thus preserving the quality.
Microwave thawing doesn't mean a lot of fuss, but some
attention is needed to make sure that parts of food do not
start to cook before the centre is thawed. MEDIUM LOW
is fast enough to be convenient but gentle enough to give
good results.

CUTS OF MEAT

pieces or fish fillets after one-third of thawing time.

dish to complete thawing. Turn over roasts, steaks, chops
or chicken. Separate as soon as possible.
JOINTS
Turn over large roasts halfway through defrosting. As you
turn, touch the meat to find warm areas and shield these
with small pieces of foil. Let roasts stand 30 to 45
minutes after defrosting time. Thaw meats and poultry
only until they can be pierced in the centre with a skewer.
Surface or cavity should feel cool but not icy. Cook as
soon as possible to prevent loss of juices.
REHEATING
Foods reheated in the microwave oven taste freshly
cooked, not reheated. Suit the power level to the food. A
microwave safe glass bowl of leftover vegetables can be
21
reheated on HIGH, while lasagne, which contains
sensitive cheese and cannot be stirred, should be
reheated on MEDIUM HIGH or MEDIUM.
CASSEROLES
Cover dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Stir several
times during reheating, especially if casserole has been
refrigerated. If casserole cannot be stirred, reheat on
MEDIUM.
MEATS
Medium to thin slices reheat best. Cover meat with
sauce or gravy. Cover with microwave plastic wrap to
hold in heat. Reheat on MEDIUM.
PLATES OF FOOD
Arrange food with thickest parts of meat and bulky
vegetables to outside of the plate. Place quick-to-heat
foods in the centre. Cover with microwave plastic wrap.
Reheat on MEDIUM.
VEGETABLES
Wrap large, whole vegetables in microwave plastic wrap.
Cover dishes of vegetables and stir during reheating, if
possible.
