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 arching, 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).
