Defrosting
A built-in microwave is an excellent option for anyone looking to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to cooking. These multi-functional appliances capable of defrosting cooking and grilling food, but they also have a range of clever functions that allow you to achieve a wide range of results.
Microwave ovens are ideal for defrosting food quickly and evenly, and most models have a Defrost setting. This setting will prompt you to enter the type of food item, its weight and calculate an optimal time for defrosting based on those factors. You can also use the manual defrost option by placing your food on a microwave-safe plate and following the directions on your microwave's interactive display.
The defrost function in a microwave operates by cycling the magnetron-which generates high frequency that turn food on and off. Contrary to other settings the defrost mode employs lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's overall output) which allows it to defrost food more slowly, without overcooking it. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly it is possible to rotate the food or break apart larger pieces of meat to keep them separate.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food 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 meat defrosted out at room temperature for too long can encourage bacteria to grow. It is therefore a good idea to plan ahead by defrosting meat at least an hour prior to the time you intend to cook it. The majority of microwaves come with an easy defrosting timer which shows how long remains.
