Defrosting _ps
@ 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.

defrosted and microwaved, ffthe food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
" I 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.
