Defrost Tips
•
Frozen food in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closed packages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER the
food has partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially uncovered.
•
If the food is in a foil container, transfer it to a
microwave-safe dish.
•
For more even defrosting of larger foods, use
Weight Defrost. Be sure large meats are
completely defrosted before cooking
•
When defrosted, food should be cool but
softened in all areas. If food is still icy, return to
the microwave for brief additional cooking time,
or let it stand for a few minutes.
