When I defrost meat in my microwave, it will beep about half way through the cycle. I'm assuming this is to indicate to me that I need to do something, I'm just not sure what.

  • Am I supposed to check to see the progress?
  • Am I to remove the meat and re-evaluate?
  • Are there health concerns associated with ignoring the beep?

It's reminding you that flipping meat halfway through the defrost cycle will help prevent the bottom half cooking, while the top remains frozen solid.

    Mine actually displays "turn over" where the clock belongs while it's beeping. And it makes a huge difference. When I turn it over, I get perfectly defrosted meat. When I don't, it's uneven - still frozen in places and starting to cook in others. – Kate Gregory Jul 13 '13 at 17:52
