Your owner's manual will tell you what size turkey will fit in the microwave. For example, the manual might say that you can safely thaw a turkey that's up to 15 pounds (6.8 kg). If your turkey weighs more than what the manual recommends, choose a different defrosting method. Check the size of your microwave to determine if the turkey will fit. Discard all of the packaging and remove any metal that might be wrapping the legs together. Then set the turkey on a large microwave-safe plate. Ensure that the plate will fit inside your microwave. Put the turkey into the microwave and use the defrost feature. Enter the turkey's weight and start the microwave. Defrosting should take about 6 minutes for each 1 pound (450 g) of turkey. If your turkey is over 15 pounds (6.8 kg), you may want to turn it over once or twice as it defrosts. This will help it thaw evenly. Since a microwave will thaw the turkey unevenly, some parts of the turkey might begin to cook. To prevent bacteria from growing, plan on cooking the turkey as soon as it's finished defrosting in the microwave. Consider preheating your oven during the last 20 minutes the turkey is defrosting. This way you can immediately transfer the turkey to a roasting pan and put it into the hot oven.

One-sentence summary -- Read your owner's manual to decide if the turkey will fit. Unwrap the turkey and put it on a microwave-safe plate. Defrost the turkey for 6 minutes per 1 pound (0.45 kg). Remove the turkey and cook it immediately.

Q: Say you need to tell them something important and tell them what you hope to get from them from the conversation.  There are a number of things that you might want:  If you just want them to listen and offer emotional support, let them know that. If you want their advice, let them know. If you need their financial support, e.g., to see a mental health professional, mention that. You need to let them know that you want to have a serious conversation in private. This means starting the conversation in a general kind of way that conveys that you have a problem you want to discuss without getting into the specifics just yet. Here are some examples of broad conversation starters:  "I have a problem that I need to tell you about. Can we go somewhere private to talk?" "I could really use your advice on an issue I'm having. Can we go for a walk?" "I really need your help with something private; I want to talk to you alone about it." Try to remember that they may not know certain things about you, or that they may see the world a bit differently than you do. As you have the conversation, try to keep their perspectives in mind to ensure that you are all on the same page. As you are explaining things, keep track of their faces. If either parent looks confused, ask them if anything you said is unclear. Make sure you tell your parents all the information that you have about your eating disorder. Do you suspect that you have an eating disorder but have never been diagnosed by a mental health professional? There are also many kinds of eating disorders that are treated differently and that can have different negative effects on your health. This is all information your parents should know. Be sure to describe if you have:  Anorexia nervosa, which involves an inadequate consumption of food leading to low body weight. Binge eating disorder, which involves recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food. Bulimia nervosa, which involves recurrent episodes of eating large quantities of food followed by behaviors that are intended to reduce weight gain, such as vomiting. Eating disorder not otherwise specified (NOS). This may include, for example, night eating syndrome (eating excessively at night), purging disorder (purging without first binge eating), or atypical anorexia nervosa (in which weight is within the normal range). Once you have pulled your parents aside and disclosed to them that you have an eating disorder, allow them to ask you some questions. Answer as best as you can, and be honest with them.  If you don't know the answer to one of their questions, it's fine to say that you don't know. If you don't want to answer one of their questions, tell them this. However, keep in mind that you parents love you and want to help. If what they are asking is relevant to your eating disorder, think carefully about your decision to not answer. Once you have had the conversation with them, remind them what your goals are and what you need from your parents to accomplish your goals. This could be a stay in an eating disorder clinic or to get mental health counseling. If you aren't sure what your goals are, or if you just wanted to express your feelings to your parents, ask them for advice. It can't hurt, and most parents love to give their children advice. If you prepared reading materials for them before having the conversation, pass them out to your parents. Give them some time to read the materials. Before parting ways, however, setup another time to meet with them for after they have read up on your specific eating disorder. Make sure not to overwhelm them with too many materials or with material that is not relevant to your specific eating disorder. Sometimes the conversation could get emotionally rocky. You may feel that your parents aren't being as understanding as you'd hoped for, or that they don't believe you, or that they don't recognize that eating disorders are very real and serious medical disorders. Despite any of the scenarios, try to keep the conversation mature and adult-like, as anything besides that won't get you very far toward getting the help you need.  If you find your parents are not understanding you or that you are getting upset for whatever reason, consider trying to have the conversation again at a later time when you are not as upset. There is a chance that your parents will view your disorder as their fault. However, it is important to keep the conversation on track, either by them offering you the emotional support that you need, or by offering advice, or by getting you into treatment.
A: Tell them what you need. Start broad. Keep your parents' perspective in mind. Update them on what you know. Give them time to absorb and to ask basic questions. Tell them your plan of action. Give them reading materials. Avoid whining or arguing. Mention they are not to blame.

Article: Even if the zipper is structurally sound, sometimes some coaxing is needed. Gently unzipping the zipper further and then trying to zip it back up will sometimes solve the issue, especially if the zipper just caught on something. This step is common, so you may have already tried it. If you haven't, try pinching the fabric below the zipper to squeeze the garment into its zipped position. Do this while gently coaxing the slider of the zipper upwards. This step can help if the issue is caused by the teeth trying to pull away from each other. Another common tactic that you can try is pinching above the zipper. This tactic helps gather teeth together when they're having a hard time catching, and it can help in cases where the zipper is having trouble because your tailored slim-fit trousers or flirty cocktail dress are a little too tight. If the zipper is still sluggish, closely examine the zipper. Make sure there isn't anything like thread or hair stuck in it. If something is in the way, pull it out to see if that fixes the problem, as it can keep your zipper from closing easily. You may need to move the zipper back and forth as you try to pull the thread or hair out of the zipper. One of the most common problem areas for a zipper is actually the teeth. Over time, the teeth can get bent out of alignment. Look to see if all of your zipper's teeth are straight and in line. If they're not, you can use pliers to pull them back into place. Just don't be too rough, as you can pull the teeth off. Another option is to just replace the zipper completely. You can do it yourself at home, or you can take it to a tailor's to be replaced. Most sewing stores sell zippers you can use to replace the one you have. However, having a professional do it will be easier, and it doesn't cost too much.
