The defrost mode in a microwave works by alternating the magnetron which produces high frequency that turn food on and off. In contrast to other settings, the defrost setting utilizes lower power levels (around 20% to 30 percent of the appliance's overall output) which allows it to thaw food slowly and not overcook it. It is possible to rotate your food items or break up larger pieces of meat in order to ensure an even defrosting.
It is important to keep in mind that thawing food items in the refrigerator takes longer than using a microwave, however, it has the benefit of letting you cook the rest of your meal while it is defrosting. The meat that has been defrosted should not be kept at room temperature too long. This can trigger bacteria growth. Defrosting meat an hour or more before cooking is a good way to prepare for. To help you plan the meal, microwaves typically have a useful timer feature that displays how much time remains during the defrosting process.
