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.
You 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 food over.
At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the
techniques listed below for optimum defrost results.
Then, close oven door, press the START/SPEEDY COOK
button 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,
and 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).
