• Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be
defrosted in the package. 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 Auto Defrost.
Be sure large meats are completely
defrosted before cooking.
When defrosted, food should be cool
and softened in all areas. If you still
notice icy spots, just let stand a few
minutes.
