Alternatively, you can use the manual defrost feature by placing your food items on a microwave-safe plate and following the directions on the display of your microwave's interactive.
The defrost feature in microwaves is activated by cycling the magnetron that generates high frequency that heats food. The defrost mode uses lower power levels than other settings (around 20-30% of total output) this lets you thaw your food more slowly and without overcooking. To ensure even defrosting it is possible to rotate the food or break apart larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.
It is important to remember that defrosting food items in the fridge can take longer than using the microwave. However, you can cook the rest of the meal while defrosting.

Defrosting meat at least an time or more before cooking is a good idea to plan ahead. Microwave Oven Built-in ovensandhobs have a handy defrosting timer which shows how long remains.
