General Defrosting Tips
1. Do not defrost covered meat. Covering might allow cooking to take place. Always remove outer
wrap and tray. Place food on a microwave-safe rack in a dish.
2. Begin defrosting whole poultry breast-side-down. Begin defrosting roasts fat-side-down.
3. The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
