The following table shows different food’s approximate defrosting time:
Food type | Weight | Defrosting time (minutes) |
---|---|---|
Meat | 0.1~1.0 fig | 1:30~26:00 |
Poultry | 0.2~1.0 fig | 2:30~22:00 |
Seafood | 0.1~0.9 fig | 1:30~14:00 |
These timeframes are approximate and depend on a number of factors.
TIPS
- Food arrangement: place the thickest food parts towards the edge of the turntable. If possible, do not overlap food.
- Watch cooking time: Cook for the shortest amount of time at first, and add more minutes in case it is necessary. Over-cooking may result in smoke and burns.
- Cover food while cooking: covering the food you are going to cook avoids spattering and allows for a more even cooking.
- Flip or stir food once during the cooking process.
- Respect pre-heating time. Pre-heating time specified on the food’s label must not be exceeded.
