AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
Automatic Defrost allows you to easily defrost food. Power levels and times
are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.
TOTAL DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods,
when it is important to have the center section defrosted as well as the outside.
Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish
that need preparation prior to cooking. Excellent for defrosting ground meat
for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.
Example:
To thoroughly defrost a 2.5 lb Whole Chicken:
Defrosting Techniques:
•
Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a microwave-safe
dish.
•
To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking before
center of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of aluminum foil.
•
Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a
standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of
the oven to complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for
denser foods such as roasts.
•
The total defrost includes preset standing time.
•
Time Defrosting
: Use power level
P30
(Medium Low). For most frozen foods,
allow approximately 5 minutes per pound. To speed up the defrosting of dense
foods over 1 lb, you may start on
P100 for 2 minutes.
Then reduce to the power
level
P30
and enter remaining time.
