DEFROST
Auto Defrost allows you to easily defrost food two ways. Power levels and
times are automatically determined when the food weight is entered.
Press Auto Defrost once for QUICK DEFROST. Press Auto Defrost twice for
DEFROST.
DEFROST: Use for more thorough defrosting of larger, dense frozen foods.
Ideal for items such as roasts, whole chicken and steak.
QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist in the separation of frozen pieces of
chicken, ground meats, or fish that need preparation prior to cooking.
Excellent for defrosting ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or taco meat.

Defrosting Techniques:
•
Remove freezer paper, plastic wrap or foil wrap. Place food in a
microwave-safe dish.
To prevent thin parts and edges from becoming too warm and cooking
•
before center of food is defrosted, shield with small pieces of aluminum
foil.
Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have
•
standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be
taken out of the oven to complete defrosting. A longer standing time
might be required for denser foods such as roasts.
•
Timed Defrosting: Use power level P30 (Medium Low). For most frozen
foods, allow approximately 5 minutes per pound. To speed up the
defrosting of dense foods over 1 lb, you may start on P100 for 2
minutes. Then reduce to the power level P30 and enter remaining time.
