Foods frozen in paper or plasOc can be defiosted
in the package. Tightly closed packages should
be slit, pierced or vented AFTER todd has
parOally defiosted. PlasOc storage containers
should be at least parOally uncovered.
Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be
deti'osted and microwa_ed. If tile food is in a toil
container, transtcr it to a microwaxe-satc dish.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs,
fish, stuffings, poultry and pork should not be
allowed to sit out tOT more than one hour after

growth of harmflfl bacteria.
