Defrosting Tips & Techniques

Preparation For Freezing:

1.Freeze meats, poultry, and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. Place wax paper between layers.

2.Package in heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags (labeled “For Freezer”), or freezer paper.

3.Remove as much air as possible.

4.Seal securely, date, and label.

To Defrost:

2.Set food in microwave safe dish.

3.Place roasts fat-side down. Place whole poultry breast-side down.

4.Select power and minimum time so that items will be under-defrosted.

5.Drain liquids during defrosting.
