Defrosting Tips
●
Foods frozen in paper or plastic
can
be defrosted in the
package.
●
Family-size, pre-packaged frozen dinners can be
defrosted
and
microwaved. If the food is in a foil
container, transfer it to a microwave-safe dish.
●
For even defrosting, some foods need to be broken
up or separated part of the way through the defrosting
time.
●
Check the Defrosting Guide for other defrosting tips.
●
Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,
stuffings, poultry and pork should not be allowed to
sit out for more than one hour after defrosting. Room
temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
