Defrosting Tips
■ 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 By Food Type.
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 By Time. 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.
