Plastic storage containers should be at least 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, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. • When defrosted, food should be cooled and softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very briefly, or let stand a few minutes. 14
