Note for Auto Defrost:
Check foods when microwave oven signals. After final stage, small sections
may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice
crystals are thawed.
Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is
defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and
thinner sections of the food.
AMOUNT
.5 - 3.0 lb Remove any thawed pieces after each stage.
Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
.5 - 4.0 lb After each stage, rearrange and if there are
warm or thawed portions, shield with small
flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat
or fish that is almost defrosted. Let stand,
covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
.5 - 3.0 lb After each stage, rearrange pieces or remove
portions should they become warm or thawed.
Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes.
2.0 - 4.0 lb Start defrosting with fat side down. After
each stage, turn roast over and shield the
