AUTO DEFROSTING GUIDE

• Follow the instructions below when defrosting different types of food.
Food
Roast Beef, Pork
Steaks, Chops, Fish
Ground Meat
Whole Chicken
Chicken Pieces
Notes
Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to
continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed.
Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of
the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sec-
tions of the food.
Amount
Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn
2.5-6.0 lbs.
the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips
of aluminum foil.
After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or
0.5-3.0 lbs. thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow flat pieces of
aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly
defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes.
0.5-3.0 lbs.
After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly
defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil, for 5–10 minutes.
2.5-6.0 lbs.
Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the
breast side down. After the first stage, turn the chicken over
and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum
foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions
with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for
30–60 minutes in the refrigerator.
0.5-2.0 lbs.
After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that
are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.
