Tips
[] Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package, Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER food has
partially defrosted, Plastic storage 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, Room temperature
promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria,
[] For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Time Defrost.
Be sure
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.
