Defrosting Tips
, Foodsfrozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. Closedpackages
should be slit, pierced or vented AFTER
food has partially defrosted. Plasticstorage
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.
, Foodsthat spoil easily should not be allowed
to sit out for more than one hour after
defrosting. Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
Formore even defrosting of larger foods,
such as roasts, use Auto 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.
