why does my microwave beep half way through a defrost?

why does my microwave beep half way through a defrost? - Cars driving on asphalt road between parked automobiles and residential houses in modern city district with sun shining through tree branches

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?


Best Answer

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.
