AUTOMATIC DEFROST BY WEIGHT
The best defrosting time and power levels are automatically determined depending on the food weight you enter. The feature provides two options:
FINE DEFROST: Use for thorough defrosting of frozen foods, when it is important to have the center section defrosted as well as the outside. Examples for recommended use are: whole chicken, roasts and steak. QUICK DEFROST: Use to assist separation of frozen pieces of chicken or fish that need preparation prior to cooking. Also, this defrost option is excellent for thawing items such as frozen ground meat for use in spaghetti sauce or for taco meat.
Example: To thoroughly defrost 2.5 Ib of whole chicken:

Defrosting Techniques:
Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.
Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a standing time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such
as roasts.
Note: Weight can be entered up to 5.9 Ibs. If weight is entered more than 5.9 Ibs and
press START, short 3 beeps sounds to alert you to enter correct weight.
The oven selects lib if a weight is not entered.
Deep tone sounds 5 seconds during the defrosting cycle to signal that food should be rearranged to improve defrosting performance, Open the
door and rearrange the food. The oven continues the defrosting cycle to the
end if you do not open the door.
Food can be defrosted in a styrofoam package.

Advantages of microwave cooking are speed and efficiency. For warming,
heating, and defrosting, nothing really compares. There are a few tips that will
make microwaving easier and more enjoyable.
Microwave Cooking Principles Because microwave cooking requires onlyone-quarter to one-third the time of
conventional cooking, the same cooking principles become even more important.
Quantity
The more food being cooked, the longer you will have to cook it. As a general
Delicate Ingredients Some foods require special attention
when cooked in the microwave oven. Delicate foods such as eggs, cheese,
mayonnaise, etc. cook soquickly, they should be watched carefully.
Microwave Cooking Techniques Arranging: Arrange foods in a circular pattern, when possible.
Piercing: Pierce the membrane of foods suchas eggs, oysters,snails, sausages,
livers, clams and whole vegetables, so they do not burst.
Covering: Covering speeds heating

When cutting a recipe in half, reduce the time by about 40 percent.
Density Dense foods, such as potatoes, roasts
and carrots, absorb microwave energy less quickly than porous foods such as
ground beef or mashed potatoes. Therefore, denser foods take longer to
cook.
Turning Over: To help larger foods
such as roasts or whole chickens cook more evenly.
Reheating: Place food that is denser/
larger/thicker to the outer edge and the smaller/thinner or more porous food to
the center.
Shielding:To prevent overcooking, thin _i
or bony areas can be protected with small strips of aluminum foil.
Shape and Size Small pieces cook faster than large
ones. Foreven cooking, it isimportantto have all the pieces the same size. Evenly shaped pieces, round or doughnut shaped, microwave best. When cooking items of varying
thickness, arrange the thick portion near the outer edge of the dish.
Moisture, Sugar and Fat
Food high in moisture, sugar or fat cook
faster than foods that are low in these
Standing Time: Foods continue
cooking even after removal from the oven. Standing time isnecessary to _,
allow foods to complete cooking. _
Converting Recipes Microwave recipes will likelycall for less
liquid and cooking time. Safety Food Temperatures
For your safety, following temperature is recommended to avoid potential food
poisoning problems.
substances. Add a minimum of liquidto moist foods. An excess amount of water
slows cooking. Starting Temperature
160°F (71°C): Meat, Fish, Eggs 165°F (74°C): Reheating foods
170°F (77°C): Poultry (White Meat) 180°F (82°C): Poultry (Dark Meat)
Frozen or refrigerated foods take longer
to microwave than food at room temperature.
