AUTO DEFROSTING GUIDE

• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.

FoodAmount

Roast Beef 2.5-5.0 lbs.

Steaks, Chops, Fish 0.5-3.0 lbs.

Ground Meat 0.5-3.0 lbs.

Whole Chicken 2.5-6.0 lbs.

Procedure

Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil.

After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes.

After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes.

Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of alu- minum foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, cov- ered, for 30–60 minutes in the refrigerator.

Chicken Pieces 0.5-2.0 lbs.

Notes

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed.

Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
