Preparation For Freezing:

1.   Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in 

packages with only one or two 
layers of food. Place wax paper 
between layers.

2.   Package in heavy-duty plastic 

wraps, bags (labeled “For 
Freezer”), or freezer paper.

3.   Remove as much air as possible.
4.   Seal securely, date, and label.

To Defrost:

1.   Remove wrapper. This helps 

moisture to evaporate. Juices 
from food can get hot and cook 
the food.

2.   Set food in microwave safe dish.
3.   Place roasts fat-side down. Place 

whole poultry breast-side down.

4.   Select power and minimum 

time so that items will be under-
defrosted.

5.   Drain liquids during defrosting.
6.   Turn over (invert) items during 

defrosting.

After Defrosting:

1.   Large items may be icy in the 

center. Defrosting will complete 
during Standing Time.

2.   Let stand, covered, following 

stand time directions on 
page 9.

3.   Rinse foods indicated in the chart.
4.   Items which have been layered 

should be rinsed separately or 
have a longer stand time.
