NOTE

Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the final stage, small sections

may still be icy; let them stand to continue the thawing process. The food is not

defrosted until all ice crystals have melted. Shielding roasts and pieces of steak

using small pieces of foil prevents the edges from being cooked before the center

of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover

edges and thinner sections of the food.
