Defrosting Tips
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.
