Defrosting
A built in combi microwave is an excellent option for those who want to enjoy the best of both worlds when it comes to cooking. Not only are these multifunctional appliances able of defrosting, cooking and grilling food, but they also come with various clever functions that allow you to achieve a wide range of outcomes.
Microwave ovens are perfect for defrosting food fast and evenly. The majority of models have a Defrost setting. This setting typically will prompt you to input the type of food you want to defrost and its weight before calculating the best time for defrosting based on these factors. You can also use the manual defrost option by placing the food on a microwave-safe plate and following the directions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost mode in a microwave functions by resetting the magnetron, which generates high-frequency frequencies that cook food on and off. Contrary to other settings the defrost setting uses lower power levels (around 20%-30% of the appliance's total output) which allows it to thaw food more slowly, without overcooking it. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly, you may need to rotate the food or break up larger pieces of meat to keep them separated.
It is crucial to keep in mind that defrosting food items in the fridge can take longer than in a microwave. However you can cook the remainder of the meal while defrosting. It is also important to note that letting meat defrosted out at room temperature for too long could encourage the growth of bacteria. Defrosting meat an hour or more prior to cooking is a good way to plan ahead. The majority of microwaves come with a handy defrosting timer which shows how long is left.
