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.
