Defrosting Tips - LG MS-2327BL Instruction Manual

Defrosting meats tips & techniques
• You can defrost meats in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present. If necessary, shield small
areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminium foil. This will prevent thin areas becoming warm dur-
ing defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch the oven walls.
• Food to be defrosted should be in a suitable microwave safe container and placed uncovered on the
glass turntable.
• Defrost meats only as long as necessary. Separate items like minced meat, chops, sausages and bacon as
soon as possible. Remove defrosted portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces. It is essential that
food is checked during DEFROSTING as different foods vary in their defrosting speed.
• Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the center of the
meat using moderate pressure. The center will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.
• Defrost meat on defrost mode.
