Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections
may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing.
Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges
from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow,
flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner
sections of the food.
