Defrosting tips Microwaving www.geadvantium.com Use DEFROST-AUTO for meat, poultry and fish. Use DEFROST-TIME for most other frozen 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 DEFROST-AUTO. 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 DEFROST-AUTO. 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. 28
