Defrosting Guide

• Unwrap food. Place food on a 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.
