Defrosting
tips
Use DEFROST BY FOOD TYPE for
meat, poultry and fish.
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 very briefly, or let
it stand a few minutes.
