Defrosting Tips
• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in
the package . 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
container, 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 Time Defrost. Be sure large meats are completely
defrosted before cooking .
• When defrosted, food should be cool but softened in all
areas . If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very
briefly, or let it stand a few minutes .
