• When defrosting food that has been stored in plastic con-
tainers: thaw only until the food will slide out of the plastic
container. Transfer the food to a microwave-proof container to
complete defrosting.
• If you are unsure about the weight of the food, it is best to
underestimate the weight in order to avoid drying or overheat-
ing the food. Complete thawing by using the Time Defrost
procedure described in the preceding instructions.
• With foods of varying thicknesses, use small, smooth
pieces of aluminum foil to prevent over cooking the thinner
parts, for example, the tail of a fish. Use foil to cover any
areas that begin to cook before defrosting is complete. Cover
loosely so that the foil can be easily removed partway through
defrosting.
