MANUAL DEFROST
To defrost other foods or quantities of foods than the ones listed
on the Defrost Chart, defrost manually. Use power level 30%
to defrost any frozen food, whether raw or previously cooked.
Most frozen foods, whether raw or previously cooked, defrost
in approximately 4 minutes per pound of food. For example,
to defrost 1 pound of spaghetti sauce, defrost for 4 minutes; to
defrost 3 pounds of cookie batter, defrost for 12 minutes.
Periodically pause the microwave oven to remove or separate
the defrosted portions.
If food is still frozen at the end of the estimated time, set the
power level to 30% again and defrost in 1-minute increments
until totally defrosted. If frozen food is in plastic containers,
defrost only long enough to remove food from plastic and place
it in a microwave-safe dish.
