How To Cook from Food From Frozen In A Microwave and Defrosting Tips
Applies to
Microwaves with and without turntables
Resolution
- A cook from frozen products, such as frozen ready-meal lasagne, will have instructions on how to cook. Please remember these are general instructions as a guide for all types of microwaves, not just yours.
- You may need a little less or a little more cooking time than the instructions state. If possible, defrost frozen and unpacked foods in a glass or porcelain container.
- You should always turn defrosting or cooking from frozen products at least once, usually halfway, through the process.
- Also stirring the food, if possible, at this stage will help with even cooking. It is also recommended to cover frozen/defrosting foods to keep in heat, avoid drying up and reduce any possible mess.
- Allow enough time for meals to get hot because some parts of the dish may need more time. Finally, leave your food covered for a minute or two so the heat can better balance itself.
