Defrost
The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be
manually set to defrost by using 30% cook power.
For optimal results, food should be 0°F (-18°C) or colder
when defrosting.
Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting.
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.
Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
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 preset for defrosting
a number of food types.
Manual Defrost requires that a cook time and power level be
entered if using other than 30% cook power.
Sauce
Place in microwave-safe
container. Cover with
plastic wrap and vent. Stir
and let stand 2-3 minutes
after reheating.
