Defrosting Tips & Techniques
Preparation For Freezing:
• Freeze meats, poultry, and
fish in packages with only
one or two layers of food.
Place wax paper between
layers.
• Package in heavy-duty
plastic wraps, bags (labeled
"For Freezer"), or freezer
paper.
• Remove as much air as
possible.
• Seal securely, date, and
label.
To Defrost:
• Remove wrapper. This
helps moisture to evaporate.
Juices from food can get hot
and cook the food.
• Set food in microwave safe
dish.
• Place roasts fat-side down.
Place whole poultry breast-
side down.
