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.

■ 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.
