After each stage, turn the food over and shield any warm portions with narrow strips of aluminum foil. After each stage, rearrange the food.

After each stage, rearrange or remove any pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let stand for 10-20 minutes. Notes Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil 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. 19
