Use Weight Defrost for
meat, poultry and fish up to

sets the defrosting times and
power levels to give even
defrosting results for meats,
poultry and fish.

3 ounces).

• Remove meat from package and place on microwave-
safe dish.
• When the oven signals, turn the food over. Remove
defrosted meat or shield warm areas with small pieces
of foil.
• After defrosting, most meats need to stand 5 minutes
to complete defrosting. Large roasts should stand for
about 30 minutes.
If the weight of food is stated in pounds
and ounces, the ounces must be
converted to tenths (.1) of a pound.

Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package. Closed packages should be slit, pierced
or vented AFTER food has partially defrosted. Plastic
storage containers should be partially uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted and microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
• For more even defrosting of larger foods, such as
roasts, use Defrost Weight. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking.
• Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed to sit
out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
• When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all
areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very
briefly, or let it stand a few minutes counts down.
