Defrosting Techniques:

_L- UM i],nn

eRemove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a microwave-safe baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.

Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.

Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a 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.
