with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat or fish that is
almost defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.

2. Steak, chops

or fish

.5 - 4.0 lb

AFTER EACH STAGE, REARRANGE PIECES OR REMOVE PORTIONS SHOULD THEY BE-
COME WARM OR THAWED. LET STAND, COVERED, FOR 10 TO  20 MINUTES.

3. Chicken pieces

NOTE:

Check foods when oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue
thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth
strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
