THAWING FROZEN
TURKEYS IN
PAPER BAGS
Thawing frozen turkeys at
room temperature in closed pa
per bags keeps the temperature
low enough to protect quality,
food specialists say. This meth
od is more convenient than
thawing in a household refrig
erator or under tap water.
Many processors hesitate to
recommend room-temperature
thawing. Although this is a
common practice, it can ex
pose the outside surface of the
bird for a period long enough
and at temperature high
enough for bacteria to mul
tiply rapidly.
Refrigerator thawing avoids
this danger. But, the research
ers say, if the bird is kept in
its plastice wrap and placed
in a paper bag at room tem
perature, the atmosphere in
side the bag will be only
slightly warmer than the at
mosphere in the refrigerator.
Thus, the bird can be thawed
completely without exposing
the surface to temperature

PICNIC OR HAM
Picnic is one cut of cured
pork that shows up as a bar
gain often at the meat counter.
Picnic is cured pork shoulder
and has more bone, more seam
fat, and more skin than a ham,
explains Harold E. Neigh, Penn
State extension specialist in
consumer economics. Ham re
fers only to the hind leg of
pork. Picnics, like hams, are
available in both “cook-before
eating” and “fully cooked”
types. Read the label so you
