Defrosting tips

Defrost by time

Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for meat, poultry, fish, and bread. Use DEFROST BY TIME for most other frozen foods.

nFoods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package when using DEFROST BY TIME. Meats should be taken out of the package when using DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented after food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered.

nFamily-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.

Use DEFROST BY TIME to defrost for a selected length of time.

1.Press the MICROWAVE pad.

2.Turn the selector dial to DEFROST. Press the dial to enter.

3.Turn the dial to DEFROST BY TIME. Press the dial to enter.

4.Turn the dial to select the time you want. Press the dial to enter.

5.Press the dial or START/PAUSE pad to start defrosting.

6.Turn the food over when the oven signals TURN FOOD OVER.

nFoods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

nWhen defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas.

If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.

nWhen defrosting 3 or more pounds of ground or cubed meat, remove defrosted portions at the turn signals.

Power level is automatically set

at 3, but can be changed. To change the power levels, see Microwave power levels for instructions.

You can defrost small items quickly by raising the power level after entering the time. Power level 7 cuts the total defrosting time in about half; power level 10 cuts the total time to about 1/3. When defrosting at high power levels, food will need more frequent attention than usual and may have some cooking.
