2.5-6.0 lbs. Start with the food placed fat side down. After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 10-20 minutes.
Steaks, Chops, Fish
0.5-3.0 lbs. After each stage, rearrange the food. If there are any warm or thawed portions of food, shield them with narrow, at pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered for 5-10 minutes.
Ground Meat
0.5-3.0 lbs. After each stage, remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered with foil for 5-10 minutes.
Whole Chicken
2.5-6.0 lbs. Remove giblets before freezing poultry. Start defrosting with the breast side down. After the rst stage, turn the chicken over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After the second stage, again shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. Let stand, covered for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator.
Chicken Pieces
0.5-3.0 lbs. After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes.
Using the 1 pound defrost button

NOTE
Check the food when you hear the oven signal. After the nal stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue the thawing process. The food is not defrosted until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and pieces of steak using small pieces of foil prevents the edges from being cooked before the center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, at, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food.
