Defrosting Tips
• Foods li-ozen in paper or plastic can he
defi-osted in the package. Tightly closed
packages should be slit, pierced or
vented AIq'ER tood has partially
defi-osted. Plastic sR)rage containers
should be at least partially uncovered.
"Family-size, prepackaged fi-ozen dinners
can be defi-osted and microwaved. If the
lbod is in a fi)il container, transi;er it m a
microwave-sai;e dish.
,, Foods that spoil easily, such as milk,
eggs, fish, stuffings, pouln T and pork,
should not be allowed to sit out fi)r more
than one hour after defi-osting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of
harmtul bacteria.
"For more even defrosting of larger fi)ods,
such as heel, lamb and veal roasts, use
Auto Deft-cast.
,, When deli-osted, tood should be cool but
softened in all areas, ffsdll slightly icy,
return to the microwave vmy briefly, or let
