Microwave ovens are ideal for defrosting food quickly and evenly. The majority of models come with a Defrost setting. This setting asks you to enter the type of food item, its weight and calculate an ideal time for defrosting based on those factors. Alternatively, you can use the manual defrost option by placing your food on a microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on your microwave's interactive display.
The defrost function in microwaves is activated by cycling the magnetron, which generates high frequency heats food. Contrary to other settings the defrost cycle employs lower power levels (around 20%-30% of the appliance's total output), allowing it to thaw food more slowly without overcooking it. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly you may have to rotate the food or break apart larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.
It is important to note that thawing food in a refrigerator can take longer than using a microwave, but it does have the benefit of cooking the rest of your meal while food is defrosting. It is also important to note that letting the meat you have defrosted sit out at room temperature for too long can cause bacteria to develop. So, it's recommended to plan ahead by defrosting your meat at least an hour prior to the time you intend to cook it. To help you plan your meal, many microwaves come with a handy timer function that displays how much time is remaining in the defrosting process.
