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 it 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 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 during defrosting or standing time.

Break apart and remove food as required.
