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
Auto 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.
