A built-in combi microwave is a fantastic option for anyone looking to enjoy the best of both options when it comes to cooking.

Most microwave ovens have a Defrost option that allows you to defrost food quickly and evenly. This setting will ask you to input the type of food item, its weight, and calculate the optimal time for defrosting based on those factors. You can also use the manual defrost option by placing your food on a microwave-safe plate and following the instructions on the interactive display of your microwave.
The defrost cycle in a microwave operates by cycling the magnetron-which generates high frequency that turn food on and off. Unlike other settings, the defrost mode utilizes lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's overall output) which allows it to thaw food slowly and not overcook it. To ensure even defrosting you may have to rotate the food or break up larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.
It is crucial to keep in mind that defrosting food in the refrigerator takes longer than when you use the microwave. However, you can cook the rest of the meal while it is defrosting. It is also important to remember that letting the meat you have defrosted sit out at temperatures that are too hot can encourage bacteria to grow. So, it's a good idea to prepare by defrosting the meat at least one hour prior to when you plan to cook it. To aid in planning your meal, many microwaves come with an easy timer feature that shows how long is left on the defrosting cycle.
