DEFROSTINg gUIDE

 Do  not  defrost  covered  meat.  Covering  might  allow 

cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and 
tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.

 Begin  defrosting  whole  poultry  breast-side-down. 

Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

 The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. 

Shallow  rectangular  shapes  defrost  more  quickly 
than a deep block.

 After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the 

food. Toy  may  wish  to  turn  over,  break  apart, 
rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

 During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the 

over. At  this  point,  open  oven  door  and  check  the 
food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum 
defrost results.

  Then,  close  oven  door,  touch  the  START  pad  to 

complete defrosting.

 When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in 

all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven 
very  briefly,  or  let  stand  a  few  minutes.  After 
defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if there 
are any icy areas.

  Poultry  and  fish  may  be  placed  under  running  cool 

water until defrosted

 

Turn  over

  :  Roast,  ribs,  whole  poultry,  turkey 

breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops.

 

Rearrange 

: Break apart or separate steaks, chops, 

hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood 
pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

 

Shield 

: Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect 

thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such 
as chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil 
to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

 

Remove 

: To  prevent  cooking,  thawed  portions 

should be removed from the oven at this point. This 
may shorten defrost time for food weighing less than 
3 lbs.(1350g).
