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 pouches or
packaging.
If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place
food in a suitable container.
Slit the skins, if any, of frozen 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 aects 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, sh
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 during defrosting or standing
time. Break apart and remove food as required.
