Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the ideal option for those who want to make the most of cooking. Not only are these multifunctional appliances able of defrosting, cooking and grilling food, but they also offer various clever functions to enable you to achieve a wide range of outcomes.
Microwave ovens are perfect for defrosting food fast and evenly. The majority of models come with a Defrost setting. This setting asks you to input the type of food item, the weight and calculate an optimal time to defrost based on these factors. Alternately, microwaves built in can utilize the manual defrost function by placing your food on a suitable microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost feature in microwaves is activated by turning on the magnetron, which produces high frequency that heats food items. The defrost setting uses less power than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output) which allows it to thaw the food more slowly and without overcooking. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly it is possible to rotate the food or break it into larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.
It is important to note that thawing food items in the refrigerator can take longer than using a microwave, however, it has the benefit of cooking the rest of your meal while it is defrosting. It is also important to keep in mind that letting the meat you have defrosted sit out at temperatures that are too hot can encourage bacteria to grow. So, it's best to plan ahead by defrosting your meat at least an hour prior to the time you intend to cook it. The majority of microwaves come with a handy defrosting timer which shows how long remains.
