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, press 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).
