Defrosting 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 Weight 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.
