tips
Use DEk_OST BY FOOD TYlOE for
meat, poult U and fish. Use DI'_'ROST
BY TIME for most other f_vzen foods.
Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can be time defrosted in the
package, but foods should be
taken out of the package when
using DEk_OST BY FOOD TYPE.
Closed packages should be slit,
pierced or vented after food has
partially defrosted. Plastic storage
containers should be partially
uncovered.
• Family-size, prepackaged frozen
dinners can be defrosted and
microwaved. If the food is in
a foil containe_; transfer it to
a microwave-safe dish.
Foods that spoil easily should not
be allowed to sit out for more
than one hour after defrosting.
Room temperature promotes the
growth of harmful bacteria.
• For more even defrosting of
larger foods, such as roasts, use
DEI_OST BY TIMk2. Be sure large
meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.
• When defrosted, fi)od should be
cool but softened in all areas.
If still slightly icy, return to the
microwave ve U briefly, or let
it stand a few minutes.
