DEFROSTING GUIDE
l. Food packaged in paper or plastic may be defrosted without
unwrapping. If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place food
in cooking dish for defrosting. Most food defrosts well using
Defiost (3). For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
beet, lamb and veal roasts, use Warm (1).
2. After first half of defrosting time, unwrap package and check
food. Turn food over, ifnecessmy; break apart or separate food
if possible. Shield any warm areas with small pieces of foil.
3. Be sure large meats are completely defiosted before cooking.
4. When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas.
If still slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let
stand a few minutes.
