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 you have removed any
of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen
food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic
bands.
• Open containers such as cartons before they are
placed in the oven.
• Always slit or pierce plastic pouchesor packaging.
• If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place itin a
suitable container.
• Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
• Bend plastic pouchesof food to ensure even
defrosting.
• Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted
food is still icyin 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.
(For more information on standing time, see the
"Microwave Cooking Tips" section.)
• Turn over food dudng defrosting or standing time.
Break apart and remove food as required.
