Quick and easy
defrosting and reheating is one of the biggest benefits of owning a microwave
oven. Some models will perform these tasks automatically for you, but on all
models, you can set your own power levels and times. Many frozen foods benefit
from being defrosted first and then reheated. On all touch control models, you
can program in these two settings so the oven will automatically perform the
task for you without you going back to reset it. There are many types of frozen
foods and many different freezer containers so follow the same simple
instructions for preparation. Some foods do have microwave instructions for you
to follow - remember that microwave ovens have cyclic defrost so allow an extra
3-5 minutes for defrosting times suggested on packets.
Place the frozen pouch in a shallow dish or on a plate. Pierce the bag with a fork or snip off the corner. Stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Frozen entrees in microwave dishes or foil containers should be placed on a suitable shallow dish and covered with cling film. Food must be removed from the foil container first.
Remove the plate from the box. Remove the foil cover. Recover with cling film or with the lid provided. Stand for 2 minutes before serving.
Frozen casseroles should be recovered with fresh cling film or a clean lid. Reheat frozen casseroles on HIGH for 15 minutes, stirring twice.
