You can defrost any frozen food, either raw or previously cooked, by using Power level 3. Follow the exact 3-step procedure found under Time cooking. Estimate defrosting time and touch 3 for 30% when you select the power level. For either raw or previously cooked frozen food the rule of thumb is approximately 5 minutes per pound. For example, defrost 5 minutes for 1 pound of frozen spaghetti sauce. Always stop the oven periodically to remove or separate the portions that are defrosted. If food is not defrosted at the end of the estimated defrosting time, program the oven in 1 minute increments on power level 3 until totally defrosted. When using plastic containers from the freezer, defrost only long enough to remove from the plastic in order to place in a microwave-safe dish. E
