▶
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, 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).
