Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of the cycle for more even defrosting.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, and fishtails. See the
“Aluminum Foil and Metal” section first.
