■Food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder at defrosting for optimal results.

■Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting.

■Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.

■Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of cycle for more even defrosting.

■Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil and Metal” first.
