Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the final stage, small sections may still
be icy; let them stand to continue the thawing process. Do not defrost until all ice crystals
have thawed. Shielding roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the
edges from being cooked before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat,
smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.

Start with the food placed fat side down. After each
stage, turn the food over and shield any warm

portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let
stand, covered for 10-20 minutes.
After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any
warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with
0.5-3.0 lbs. narrow, flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any
pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand,
covered for 5-10 minutes.
After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are
0.5-3.0 lbs. nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5-10

Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start
defrosting with the breast side down. After the first
stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm

narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for
30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
