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 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.

•Timed 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.
