■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before
defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace them
with strings or elastic bands.
■ If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable
container.
■ Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins, if
any, of frozen food such as sausage.
■ Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.
■ Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still
icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more
defrosting.
■ The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly
the food is frozen.
■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks.
■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the
end of a cycle for more even defrosting.
■ Foods left outside the freezer for more than 20 minutes or
frozen ready-made food should not be defrosted using the
Custom Defrost feature, but should be defrosted manually.
■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such
as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See “Aluminum Foil
and Metal” first.
