• 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.
• Always 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 deep packages.
• As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated pieces defrost more easily.
• For best results, remove fish, shellfish, meat,
and poultry from its original closed paper or
plastic package (wrapper). Otherwise, the wrap
will hold steam and juice close to the foods, which
can cause the outer surface of the foods to cook.
• For best results, shape your ground meat into
the form of a doughnut before freezing. When
defrosting, scrape off thawed meat when the beep
sounds and continue defrosting.
• Place foods in a shallow container or on a
microwave roasting rack to catch drippings.
• 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.
