TIPS: Allow foods to stand a few minutes after
defrosting to equalize the temperature for
better cooking results.
Check food after standing. If additional time
is needed, continue to defrost with time
cooking. It is better to defrost with 30%
power.
Foods that are the same thickness
throughout defrost better. If foods have
varied thickness, it may be necessary to
shield the thin edges with small flat pieces
of aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
