Quick Defrost - Jenn-Air M168 Series Use And Care Manual

I Quick Defrost l
When defrosting frozen foods, a high Power Level setting can be used initially to break
down the ice crystals. But as they begin to melt, it is necessary to reduce the microwave
power to keepthe food from starting to cook before defrosting is complete. This process
is done automatically when using the separate Quick Defrost Pad. It begins defrosting
at 80% power, than gradually reduces power to 60%, 40% and 20%.

Important Defrosting Tips
• Starting temperature, shape of the food, fat content and water content will affect
defrosting time. Therefore, periodically check food during defrosting. To prevent
cooking, shield warm areas with foil.
• Remove frozen foods from package and place in a microwave safe dish to defrost.
• Food should still be somewhat icy in the center when removed from the oven
because the edges of the food will begin cooking if microwaves thaw it completely.
• Defrost meats in roasting dish.
• Standing time after defrosting helps to equalize heat. Let large meats stand 10-15
minutes and small foods 25 minutes.
