Defrosting
A built-in microwave is the best choice for anyone looking to make the most of cooking. Not only are these multifunctional appliances capable of defrosting baking and grilling, but they also offer a range of clever functions to enable you to get a broad range of results.

Most microwaves come with a Defrost option which allows you to defrost food quickly and evenly. This setting typically prompts you to input the type of food you want to defrost and its weight before calculating the ideal time to defrost in accordance with these parameters. You can also use the manual defrost feature by placing the food on a microwave-safe plate, and following the directions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost function in microwaves is activated by turning on the magnetron that generates high frequency heats food. The defrost mode uses lower power levels than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output) which lets you thaw your food more slowly and without overcooking. To ensure even defrosting you may have to rotate the food or break apart larger chunks of meat to keep them separate.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food items in the refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave but it offers the advantage of letting you cook the rest of your meal while the food is being defrosted. It is also important to note that letting meat defrosted out at room temperature for too long can encourage bacteria to grow. Therefore, it's recommended to plan ahead by defrosting the meat at least an hour prior to the time you intend to cook it. To aid you in planning your meal, many microwaves come with a useful timer feature that shows how long remains during the defrosting process.
