Most microwave ovens have a Defrost option that lets you defrost food quickly and evenly.

The defrost mode in a microwave works by alternating the magnetron which produces high frequency that turn food on and off. The defrost mode uses less power than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output) this allows it to thaw the food more slowly and without overcooking. To ensure that your food is defrosted evenly it is possible to rotate the food or break it into larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.

It is important to remember that defrosting food in the fridge takes longer than when you use the microwave. However, stoves integrated microwave can cook the remainder of the meal while defrosting. Defrosted meat should not be kept at room temperature too long. This could encourage bacterial growth. Defrosting meat at least an hour or more prior to cooking is a good way to plan ahead. To aid you in planning your meal, many microwaves come with an easy timer feature that displays how much time is left on the defrosting cycle.
