General Defrosting Tips
1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might
allow cooking to take place. Always remove
outer wrap and tray. Place food on a microwave-
safe rack in a dish. During defrost, juices
accumulate in dish and may become hot enough
to cook the food. Elevating meat off of the dish
will prevent the bottom and sides from
beginning to cook.
2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-
down. Begin defrosting roasts fat-side down.
3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more
quickly than a deep block.
4. Auto Defrost is programmed for specific
weights. Defrost results will be affected if you
enter an incorrect weight.
