vented after food has partially defrosted.

partia!ly uncovered.

can be defrosted and microwaved. If the
food is in a foil container, transfer it to a

such as roasts, use Auto Defrost Be sure
large meats are completely defrosted
before cooking.

softened in all areas. If you still notice icy
spots, just let stand a few minutes.
