Follow the instructions below when defrosting 
different types of food.

Type of food:

Roast beef, pork

Amount:

2.5-6.0 lbs.

Procedure:

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.

Type of food:

Steaks, chops, fish

Amount:

0.5-3.0 lbs.

Procedure:

After each stage, rearrange the 
food. If there are any warm or 
thawed portions of food, shield 
them with narrow strips of 
aluminum foil. Remove any 
pieces of food that are nearly 
defrosted. Let stand, covered, 
for 5-10 minutes.

Type of food:

Ground meat

Amount:

0.5-3.0 lbs.

Procedure:

After each stage, remove any 
pieces of food that are nearly 
defrosted. Let stand, covered 
with foil, for 5–10 minutes.

Type of food:

Chicken, whole

Amount:

2.5-6.0 lbs.

Procedure:

Remove giblets before freezing 
poultry. Start defrosting with the 
breast side down. After the first 
stage, turn the chicken over and 
shield any warm portions with 
narrow strips of aluminum foil 
and turn over. After the second 
stage, again shield any warm 
portions with narrow strips of 
aluminum foil. When defrost 
cycle is over, let stand, covered, 
for 30–60 minutes in the 
refrigerator.

Type of food:

Chicken, pieces

Amount:

0.5-3.0 lbs.

Procedure:

After each stage, rearrange or 
remove any pieces of food that 
are nearly defrosted. Let stand 
for 10-20 minutes.

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final 
stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand 
to continue thawing. Do not cook until all ice crystals 
have thawed.

Shielding roasts and steaks prevents the edges from 
cooking before the center of the food has defrosted. 
Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to 
cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
