Defrosting Tips
[] Foodsfrozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package.Closedpackages
should be slit,pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted.Plasticstorage
containers should be partially uncovered.
[] Family-size,prepackaged frozen dinners
can be defrosted and microwaved. If the
food is in a foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
[] Foods that spoil easily should not be
allowed to sit out for more than one
hour after defrosting. Roomtemperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
[] For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Time Defrost. Besure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
[] When defrosted, food should be cool
but softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,
return to the microwave very briefly, or let it
stand a few minutes.
