Defrost Guide
NOTE: For food weights more than
5 lbs 16 oz use SPEED DEFROST.
Defrosting Tips
Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced
or vented. AFTER food has partially been defrosted. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially
uncovered.
Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinners can be defrosted and micro waved. If the food is in a foil container,
transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffing, 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 cool and softened in all areas. If still slightly icy, return to the microwave very
briefly, or let it stand a few minutes.
