A built in combi microwave is a great option for those who want to have the best of both possibilities when it comes down to cooking. These multi-functional appliances capable of defrosting, cooking and grilling food, but they also offer many innovative functions that enable you to create a wide range of outcomes.
Microwave ovens are ideal for defrosting food quickly and evenly, and most models come with a Defrost setting. This setting will prompt you to enter the type of food item, the weight, and calculate the optimal defrosting period based on those factors. 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 cycling the magnetron, which produces high frequency heats food. Unlike other settings, the defrost setting uses lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's overall output) which allows it to melt food slowly and not overcook it. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly it is possible to rotate the food or break up larger pieces of meat to keep them separated.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food items in the refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave, however, it has the benefit of cooking the rest of your meal while the food is being defrosted. It is also important to keep in mind that letting the meat you have defrosted sit out at temperatures that are too hot can encourage bacteria to grow. Therefore, it's recommended to plan ahead by defrosting your meat at least one hour prior to when you plan to cook it. Most microwaves have a handy timer for defrosting which shows how long is left.
