Use two defrosting periods with a 10 minute standing time in between.

At the end of the final standing time, the center of the meat should still have ice crystals.

Remove pieces of meat which begin to cook and/of cover cooked edges with small pieces of aluminum foil.

Rotate and turn the item over before starting the second defrost period.

If additional defrosting time is needed, add time in 1minute periods only. Too much time will cause the edges of the food to cook.
