DEFROSTING TIPS
- When using Auto Defrost,the weight ta be entered
is the netweight in pounds and tenths of pounds
(the weight of the food minus the container).
- Before starting, make sure you have removed any
of the metal twist-tieswhich often come with frozen
food bags, and replacethem w_thstrings or elastic
bands.
- Open containers such as cartons beforethey are
placed in the oven.
- Always slit or pierce plasticpouches or packaging.
- If food is foil wrapped, removefoil and place itin a
suitable container.
- Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as
sausage.
- Bend plasticpouches of fcod to ensure even
defrosting.
*Always underestimate defrostingtime. If defrosted
food is still icy inthecenter,return ittothe
microwave ovenfor moredefrosting,
•The length ofdefrosting time varies according to
howsolidly the food is frozen.
•The shape ofthe package affectshow quicklyfood
will defrost. Shallow packageswill defrost more
quicklythan a deep block.
•As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces.
Separated piecesdefrost moreeasily.
• Use small pieces ofaluminum foil to shieldparts
effood such as chicken wings, leg tips,fish tails,or
areasthat start ta getwarm. Make sure thefoil does
no[touch thesides, top, or bo[tomof the oven. The
foil can damage the oven lining.
