Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the perfect option for those who want to get the most out of cooking. These multifunctional appliances aren't only capable of making food defrostable or grilling it, but also baking it, but also have a number of clever functions that allow you to get many different outcomes.
Microwave ovens are perfect for defrosting food quickly and evenly, and most models come with a Defrost setting. This setting asks you to enter the kind of food item, its weight and calculate an optimal defrosting period based on those factors. You can also make use of the manual defrost feature by placing the food on a microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost cycle in a microwave operates by alternating the magnetron which produces high frequencies that heat food-on and off. The defrost setting has less power than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output), which lets you thaw your food more slowly and without overcooking. It is possible to rotate your food or break up larger pieces of meat in order to ensure an even defrosting.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food items in the refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave but it does have the benefit of letting you cook the rest of your meal while it is being defrosted. The meat that has been defrosted should not be left at room temperature for too long. This could encourage bacterial growth. It is therefore recommended to prepare by defrosting your meat at least an hour before you plan to cook it. To aid in planning the meal, microwaves typically have a useful timer feature that shows how long is remaining on the defrosting cycle.
