Can I defrost frozen mince in the microwave?

[ScummyMummy]

If so, how long would I put it on for?

does anyone know?

I always defrost mince in microwave.
Put on defrost, 400g setting is usually enough for 500g of mince. It takes just over 5 minutes on the defrost setting

please tell me!
I need to do emergency rush to the corner shop if mince defrosted in m'wave is a no no

Oh thank you fruity. will follow your advice to the letter. (Sorry- cross posted last whinge before seeing your reply.)

I do it as Fruity says. I've also been known to plonk the lump of mince in the saucepan on the cooker and as it heats up and softens, break the mince into pieces. Probably against all H&S rules but no one has died.

yes, of course you can, i always do, or you can just chuck it in the frying pan frozen and keep turning and hacking it about until it is all defrosted.

Yes, that is what a microwave is for.

I would say to start off with 5 minutes at 50%.

I just cook it from frozen

Thanak you everyone.

er thank you, even!
