Defrosting
tips
Use AUTO DEFROST for meat, poultry
and fish.
Use TIME DEFROST 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 (AUTO)
. 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 (AUTO). 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.
