Ground Meat .5 - 2.0 lb PROCEDURE Pull apart and remove any thawed pieces after each stage. Let stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes. 2. Steaks/Chops .5 - 3.0 lb After each stage, rearrange and if there are warm or thawed portions, shield with small flat pieces of aluminum foil. Remove any meat that is nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes. 3. Boneless Poultry .5 - 2.0 lb After each stage, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes. 4. Bone-in Poultry .5 - 3.0 lb After each stage, if there are warm or thawed portions, rearrange or remove. Let stand, covered, for 10 to 20 minutes. NOTE: Check foods when microwave oven signals. After final stage, small sections may still be icy. Let stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals are thawed. Shielding prevents cooking from occurring before the center of the food is defrosted. Use small smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover edges and thinner sections of the food. 11
