Defrosting
A built in combi microwave is a fantastic choice for anyone who wants to get the best of both worlds when it comes to cooking. These multifunctional appliances are not only capable of defrosting food or grilling it, but also baking it, but also have numerous innovative functions that allow you to create many different outcomes.
The majority of microwave ovens have the Defrost option that allows you to defrost food quickly and evenly. This setting usually prompts you to input the type of food item and its weight, and calculates an optimal defrosting time according to these variables. Alternately, white built in microwave Ovens & Hobs can utilize the manual defrost feature by placing your food on a suitable microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on your microwave's interactive display.
The defrost feature in a microwave is activated by cycling the magnetron that generates high frequency that heats food. The defrost setting uses less power than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output) which lets you thaw your food more slowly and without overcooking. It is possible to rotate your food or break down larger pieces of meat in order to ensure even defrosting.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food in a refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave, but it offers the advantage of letting you cook the rest of your meal while food is defrosting. Defrosted meat shouldn't be kept at room temperature for too long. This can trigger bacteria growth. Defrosting meat an hour or more prior to cooking is a great way to prepare for. Most microwaves have a handy defrosting timer which shows how long remains.
