i have just done two frozen meals on 'defrost' following the microwave's manual.

do i now need to cook them like I would if they hadn't been frozen or are they ready to eat?! they feel warm?
 
definately cook as per instructions! you get 'hot spots' as microwaves are essentially standing waves, so there are areas which heat up more than others even on defrost. But the food won't be cooked.

You can do an experiment using a chocolate bar and a microwave to measure the wavelength of the radiation emitted by measuring the distance between the melted spots on the chocolate bar :p
