Defrosting Tips

n

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.

n

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.

n

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.

n

For more even defrosting of larger foods,

such as roasts, use

Time Defrost.

Be sure

large meats are completely defrosted before

cooking.

n

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.
