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.
' Aiways 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.
