[quote=Anonymous]Second for the defrost. Microwaves have trouble penetrating large solid objects like blocks of ice. If you run a full power, the majority of the microwave energy will go to the outside surface and not penetrate further in until the ice starts to melt. You'll end up burning or overcooking the outside before the inside thaws. Run the microwave on defrost (between 40-70% if you don't have a defrost button) for several minutes first. The thicker the ice, the more you'll need. Generally about 3 minutes for up to 3 inches of ice. When that's done, split the food and put the food that was at the center to the outside and the food that was on the outside in the middle you can cut in half and then spin each half 180 degrees). Then microwave as you normally do.[/quote]
