�

Unwrap foods and remove lids (for example, from fruit juice containers) before defrosting. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than deep blocks. Separate food pieces as soon as possible during or at the end of 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 �Aluminum Foil and Metal� first.
