The defrost cycle in a microwave functions by cycling the magnetron-which generates high frequencies that heat food-on and off. Unlike other settings, the defrost cycle employs lower power levels (around 20%-30 percent of the appliance's total output) which allows it to thaw food more slowly without overcooking it. To ensure that the defrosting process is even you may have to rotate the food or break apart larger chunks of meat in order to keep them separate.
It is important to remember that thawing food items in the refrigerator can take longer than using a microwave but it offers the advantage of letting you cook the rest of your meal while the food is being defrosted. It is also important to remember that letting defrosted meat sit out at temperatures that are too hot can cause bacteria to develop.
