portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let
stand, covered for 10-20 minutes.
0.5-3.0 lbs.
After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any
warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with
narrow, flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any
pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,
covered for 5-10 minutes.

defrosting with the breast side down. After the first

food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20
minutes.
Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the final stage, small sections may still
be icy; let them stand to continue the thawing process. Do not defrost until all ice crystals
have thawed. Shielding roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the
edges from being cooked before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat,
smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
