Defrosting Tips
When using Auto Defrost, the weight to be entered is the
net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of
the food minus the container).
Before starting, make sure to remove any and all metal
twist-ties that often come with frozen food bags, and
replace them with strings or elastic bands.
Open containers, such as cartons, before placing in the
oven.
Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging.
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food in
a suitable container.
Slit the skin of skinned food, such as sausage.
Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food
is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven
for more defrosting.
The length of defrosting time varies according to how
solidly the food is frozen.
The shape of the package affects how quickly food will
defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly
than a deep block.
As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of
food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas
that start to get warm. Make sure the foil does not touch
the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can
damage the oven lining.
For better results, let food stand after defrosting.
Turn over food during defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
