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 itto 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,
