Defrosting Tips

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented, A~R food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partirdly uncovered.

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

For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken up or separated part of the way through the defrosting time.

Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.

Questions and Answers

Q. When I press the START pad, I hear a dull, thumping noise. What is it?

A. This sound is normal. It is letting you know the oven is using a power level lower than 10 (High).

Q. Can I defrost small items in a hurry?

A. Yes, but they will need more frequent attention than usual. Raise the power level after entering the time by touching the POWER LEVEL pad and then the desired number. Power level 5 (Medium) cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/2; power level 10 (High) cuts the total defrosting time in about 1/3. During either, rotate or stir food frequently.
