▶
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.
▶
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).
