Auto Defrosting Guide

Food	Standard	Procedure
	Amount
Roast	2.5-6.0 lbs.	Start with the food placed fat side down.
Beef, Pork		After each stage, turn the food over and
		shield any warm portions with narrow
		strips of aluminum foil. Let stand,
		covered, for 10-20 minutes.
Steaks,	0.5-3.0 lbs.	After each stage, rearrange the food. If
Chops,		there are any warm or thawed portions of
Fish		food, shield them with narrow flat pieces
		of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of
		food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,
		covered, for 5-10 minutes.
Ground	0.5-3.0 lbs.	After each stage, remove any pieces of
Meat		food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,
		covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes.
Whole	2.5-6.0 lbs.	Remove giblets before freezing poultry.

		down. After the first stage, turn the
		chicken over and shield any warm
		portions with narrow strips of aluminum
		foil. After the second stage, again shield
		any warm portions with narrow strips of
		aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for

Pieces		any pieces of food that are nearly
		defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Notes:

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
