Cooking Instructions
Defrosting Guide
•
Unwrap food. Place food on microwave-safe rack, plate or shallow dish.
•
After first half of defrosting time: remove any remaining wrap, break food
apart or separate pieces if possible, remove any thawed food, if possible,
shield tips, thin meat or warm areas of food with foil.
•
When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened in all areas. If still
slightly icy, return to microwave oven very briefly, or let stand a few
minutes.
•
Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool water until defrosted.
