Tips for defrosting
WARNING
9
HEALTH RISK
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or
poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry, and under no circumstances, use it for other
purposes, or allow it to come into contact with other
foods.
Always enter the weight in lbs when using the defrost
▯
by weight feature (see program table).
Use the defrost mode for raw food items only.
▯
Defrosting gives best results when food to be thawed
▯
is a minimum of 0° F (taken directly from a freezer). If
the food has been stored in a refrigerator-freezer that
does not maintain a temperature of 5° F or below,
always program a lower food weight or lower cook
time to prevent cooking the food.
If the frozen food is stored outside the freezer for up to
▯
20 minutes, enter a reduced cook time or weight.
The shape of the package will alter the defrosting time.
▯
Shallow rectangular food packets defrost more quickly
than a deep frozen block of food.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Separated
▯
frozen pieces of food defrost better.
Shield warm areas of food with small pieces of
▯
aluminum foil, if they start to heat up.
Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield food items
like chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails.
Do not allow aluminum foil to touch the oven cavity
when defrosting.
