DEFROSTING GUIDE

Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only containers that are microwave-safe.

Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

The shape of the package alters the defrosting time. Shallow rectangular shapes defrost more quickly than a deep block.

After 1/3 of the defrost time has elapsed, check the food. Toy may wish to turn over, break apart, rearrange or remove thawed portions of the food.

During defrost, the oven will prompt you to turn the over. At this point, open oven door and check the food. Follow the techniques listed below for optimum defrost results.

Then, close oven door, touch the START pad to complete defrosting.

When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few minutes. After defrosting, allow food to stand 5-60 minutes if there are any icy areas.

Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water until defrosted

Turn over : Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey

breasts, hot dogs, sausages, steaks, or chops. Rearrange : Break apart or separate steaks, chops,

hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood

pieces, chunks of meat such as stew beef.

Shield : Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil to come within 1-inch of oven walls or door.

Remove : To prevent cooking, thawed portions should be removed from the oven at this point. This may shorten defrost time for food weighing less than 3 lbs.(1350g).
