Defrosting

•For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from original wrapping or packaging.

•For best results, shape your ground meat into the form of a doughnut before freezing. When defrost- ing, scrape off thawed meat when the beep sounds and continue defrosting.

•Place foods in a shallow container or on a micro- wave roasting rack to catch drippings.

•Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
