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 tarting, make sure to remove any and all metal twist-ties that often come s
with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.
• Open containers, such as cartons, before placing them 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 effects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow
packages will defrost more quickly than a deep container.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. change more easily to quicker.
• 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.
