The defrost function in a microwave operates by cycling the magnetron-which generates high frequencies that heat food-on and off. The defrost mode uses less power than other settings (around 20-30% of the total output) which allows it to thaw the food more slowly and without overcooking. It may be necessary to rotate your food or break down larger pieces of meat in order to ensure even defrosting.
It is important to keep in mind that defrosting food in the fridge takes longer than using a microwave. However you can cook the remainder of the meal while defrosting. Defrosted meat shouldn't be left at room temperature too long. This can encourage bacteria growth. Defrosting meat an hour or more before cooking is a good way to plan ahead. Many microwaves come with an easy defrosting timer which shows how long remains.
