Auto Defrosting Guide
Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not cook until all
ice crystals have thawed.
Shielding roasts and steaks prevents the edges from cooking before the
center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of
aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
