Defrosting in your microwave oven

Special instructions for defrosting differenttypes of meat are given in the chart below. Here are some additional tips for best defrosting results:

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

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

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

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

l If additional defrosting time is needed, add time in1 minute periods only. Too much time will cause the edges of the food to cook.
