Defrosting Tips

Foods frozen in paper or plastic can be defrosted in the package. Tightly closed packages should be slit, pierced or vented, AFTER food has partially defrosted, as directed by package. Plastic storage containers should be at least partially uncovered.

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.

c 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 1 hour after defrosting. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
