Accu-Thaw™ Guide

1.Food packaged in paper or plastic may be defrosted without unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in cooking dish for defrosting. Most foods defrost well using power level 3 (30% power). Defrost larger foods, such as beef, lamb and veal roasts, by using power level 1 (10% power).

2.After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check food. Turn food over, if necessary; break apart or separate food if possible. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.

3.Be sure foods are completely defrosted before cooking.

4.Foods need standing time before cooking to allow completion of defrosting process (see Defrost Guide below).
