Defrosting Tips
" Foods fi'ozen ill paper or plastic can be
deti'osted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
tood has partially deti'osted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
" Family-size, prepackaged ti'ozen dinners can
be defi'osted and microwave& If the tood is
in a tbil containe_, transter it to a microwave-
sate dish.
" For more even defl'osting of larger toods,
such as roasts, use Auto Deti'ost. Be sure
large meats are c()mpletely det/"osted betore
cooking.
. Foods that spoil easily should not be allowed
to sit out tor more than one hour Mter
deii'osting. I_o()m temperature promotes
the growth of lmrmful bacteria.

sottened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return
