Closed packagesshould be slit, pierced or vented AFTERfood has partially defrosted. Plastic storagecontainers should be partially uncovered. Family-size, prepackaged frozen dinnerscan be defrosted and microwaved. If thefood is in a foil container, transfer it to amicrowave-safe dish. Foods that spoil easily should not beallowed to sit out for more than onehour after defrosting. Room temperaturepromotes the growth of harmful bacteria. For more even defrosting of larger foods,such as roasts, use Time Defrost. Be surelarge meats are completely defrostedbefore cooking. When defrosted, food should be coolbut softened in all areas. If still slightly icy,return to the microwave very briefly, or letit stand a few minutes.Express CookStartPauseDefrostWeight/Time
