Defrosting Tips
n
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 .
n
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.
n
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 .
n
For more even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto Defrost. Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking .
n
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 .
