ARRANGING
Individual foods e.g., chicken portions or chops, should be
placed on a dish so that the thicker parts are toward the
outside.
DEFROSTING GUIDE
• Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking
to take place. Always remove outer wrap and tray. Use only
containers that are microwave-safe.
• Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin
defrosting roasts fat-side-down.

Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water
until defrosted.
• Turn over: Roast, ribs, whole poultry, turkey breasts, hot
dogs, sausages, steaks or chops.
• Rearrange: Break apart or separate steaks, chops,
hamburger patties, ground meat, chicken or seafood pieces
and chunks of meat such as stew beef.
• Shield: Use small strips of aluminum foil to protect thin
areas or edges of unevenly shaped foods such as chicken
wings. To prevent arcing, do not allow foil to come within

build up during cooking. These foods must be pierced or a
strip of skin should be peeled off before cooking to allow the
steam to escape. Eggs, potatoes, apples, sausages, etc., will
all need to be pierced before cooking. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
