Defrost Tips

  • Frozen food in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER the food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be partially uncovered
  • If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
  • For more even defrosting of larger foods, use Weight Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely defrosted before cooking
  • When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all areas. If food is still icy, return to the microwave for brief additional cooking time, or let it stand for a few minutes.

To clean the inside of the unit:
