Tips on defrosting
Defrosting steak, pork, chicken, or fish:
1 Remove the meat from your freezer. Defrost times depend on the approximate weight of your food, so check the
label or weigh your item.
2 Place the meat in a microwave safe container (see Cookware and cooking materials on page 6).
3 Press Defrost on your microwave, then set the cooking timer to defrost for 8 – 10 minutes per pound. The
thawing time for fish or other seafood can vary, so check the packaging for more information.
4 To ensure even thawing, stop the timer every few minutes to turn or flip the meat.
5 When finished, remove the meat and cook immediately.
Defrosting fruits and vegetables:
1 Remove the fruit or vegetables from your freezer.
2 Determine the weight of the produce.
3 Place the produce in a microwave safe container (see Cookware and cooking materials on page 6).
4 Press Defrost on your microwave, then set the cooking timer to defrost for two minutes.
5 After two minutes, separate the pieces. For leafy vegetables like cooked spinach, pull the block apart into smaller
pieces.
6 Continue to defrost for one minute for every four ounces of produce. Check and stir occasionally, until
completely thawed.
7 When finished, move to your stove top and cook immediately.
