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 defrosted.
Plastic storage containers should
be at least 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, such as
milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, 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.
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.
