To defrost, press Inverter Turbo Defrost, enter weight of food then press start. When defrosting larger weight foods a beep sounds midway through so you can turn over or rearrange food. There is no option for type of food. I have not used this feature much since I do not cook meats or fish but I have used it to defrost casseroles.

I defrost on power level 3. Start with a couple of minutes, check, and then add one or two minutes more depending on the size of food. Watch carefully so it doesn't start to "cook". Have patience. It doesn't matter how many pounds or what kind of food.

No, no need to thaw first. My husband takes frozen left-overs to work, sticks them in the microwave and they turn out fine.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

YES ,follow instructions , add your water or water ever liquid you are going to use , set timer and temp . Invest in a meat probe (dual) so that you can be aware of the doneness inside . It will do the work for you , no hassle .

It defrosts well. There are different options you can select, such as a timed defrost or how many pounds you are trying to defrost. The microwave will select the proper time for you. I have been satisfied with the way it defrosts.

manual defrost and quite messy. have to empty the refrigerator of everything, shut it off. and line the shelves and floor with towels. I dont know of any little refrigerators that are self-defrosting.

Not sure I have not done that one yet. I have done lots of frozen foods just follow the recipe chart. I love that all my food always turns out great (sometimes you may have to adjust cooking times). I say use the chart and go for it.

We have not used the unit as much as we expected to so far.the little we have used the machine it seems to perform well.the only thing that bothers me so far is the longer it runs the warmer the food inside becomes.thats not a huge issue though if your adding ice for a smoothie or something like that. we got the referbished one to make sure we liked it first.I think that was a wise move for us.Hope this helps you out .

You can key in minutes or use the dial by rubbing your finger on it to dial the time desired. Not a big feature but is easy to use. Good unit with fast cooking and large cooking area. Does really well for defrost as it does not cycle like other brands, defrosts evenly.

It is a regular refrigerator/freezer. It does not have an icebox that needs to be defrosted.

Yes it is very easy. Just wait until the ice cream is slushy but be sure it isn't too hard. There is an opening in the top, or you can stop the machine for a minute and take the top off. It is good machine and worth the money.

Personally I recommend defrosted because it cooks faster and the plates can keep it in place but it also depends on if you are using the full grill...if full grill then yes frozen is fine...if press grill defrosted works best

There is no ice compartment so it should never need defrosting. Possibly, if you leave the door open for long periods some frost could form on the back wall in which case it would be manual to defrost it.

This machine weighs quite a bit and I keep it on a placemat tucked in a corner on my kitchen countertop. When I want to use it, I can just slide it out by pulling on the placemat. This machine can crank out ice cream batch after batch. It takes about 30 minutes for each batch - ice cream will be in the soft serve stage, then you remove the ice cream into another container, put in your freezer and start a new batch. However, to clean it there is not a removable bowl. You have to use a hot, wet paper towel or sponge to clean the bowl out. Also, the timer is odd - turn the timer five minutes past the 30 minute mark to get the full 30 minutes. It seems to shut off automatically when it looks like there is 5 minutes still on the timer - at least on my machine. I believe I read that about the timer many years ago when I purchased my machine. Good luck.

I have not tried that specifically however I believe the answer is yes. It should defrost even through the glass and likely speed the defrost process without affecting the contents
