MANUAL DEFROST

If the food that you wish to defrost is not listed on the Defrost chart or is above or below the limits in the “Amount” column on the Defrost chart, you need to defrost manually.

You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power level 30. Follow the exact procedure found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and lower your power level to 30%.

For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce.

Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 30 until totally defrosted.

When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish.
