frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips, and fish tails. See "Aluminum Foil
and Metal" first.
■ Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for
defrosting a number of food types. For each food category, a
precise amount of food can be entered or preprogrammed
quantities can be selected.
