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,
remove 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 the
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
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.
