●For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat, and poultry from its original closed paper or plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
●Place foods in a shallow glass baking dish or microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
●Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven.
QUICK DEFROST
Use this function to thaw only 1 lb. of ground meat, poultry and steaks/chops very quickly.
NOTE: The oven beeps during the defrost cycle. After it beeps, open the door and turn over, separate, or rearrange the food. QUICK DEFROST provides just enough defrosting so that the food can be used in recipes or for cooking. Some ice crystals remain.
