If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting. ■■ The length of defrosting time varies according to how solidly the food is frozen. ■■ Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks. ■■ Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of a cycle for more even defrosting. ■■ Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips and fish tails. See the "Aluminum Foil and Metal" section first. Steam Cook Steam Cook is a sensor cooking function that uses microwaves to steam food. Use Steam for foods such as vegetables, fish and potatoes. ■■ Times and cooking powers have been preprogrammed for steaming a number of food types. ■■ Use the provided microwave-safe steamer. ■■ Use 1/2 cup (125 mL) water or as directed in the steamer instructions. Popcorn NOTE: During Popcorn function, as with all microwave cooking functions, the microwave oven should be attended at all times. The microwave oven uses the sensor to determine sizes that can be popped: 1.75-3.5 oz (50-99 g) bags. ■■ To avoid damage to the microwave oven, do not use regular paper bags or glass utensils. ■■ Pop only one package of popcorn at a time. ■■ Follow manufacturer's instructions when using a microwave popcorn popper. ■■ For best cooking results, do not try to pop unpopped kernels. ■■ Use fresh bags of popcorn for optimal results. ■■ Cooking results may vary by brand and fat content. Defrost The Defrost feature can be used, or the microwave oven can be manually set to defrost by using 160 W cook power. ■■ Unwrap foods and remove lids (from fruit juice) before defrosting. Remove any metal twist-ties and replace them with strings or elastic bands. ■■ If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container. ■■ Slit or pierce plastic pouches or packaging. Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage. ■■ Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting. 10
