Wize Buying Guide for Defrosting


Microwaves can be found in nearly every home today - they are no longer considered to be luxury machines, but are now involved in even the most basic food preparation. While microwaves are very versatile, many cooks have found that their ability to defrost food evenly and safely is one of their most useful functions.

If you do not have time to defrost your food in the refrigerator - a process that can take more than 24 hours - then using the microwave is an easy and practical alternative. When defrosting your food in the microwave, be sure to use 50% power so that your food thaws evenly and doesn't overcook on the outside edges. Purchase a microwave that allows you to adjust the power level easily and has a large enough capacity to accommodate the food that you wish to thaw. Proper defrosting is an important step in any food preparation that involves frozen items, so be sure that you choose the right microwave oven for your cooking needs and know how to use it correctly - once you do, your microwave will save you time and help ensure that your meals are perfectly prepared!
