SRXOWU\DQG¿VK
Use DEFROST BY 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
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
