Do not confuse Time Saver Defrosting with
the DEFROST setting. DEFROST is a low
energy setting used to prepare foods
needing slow, gentle cooking. You can also
use the DEFROST setting to reheat many
rrozen convenience foods and to defrost
small bread items.

standing techniques which complete
thawing.
