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.
