Best Practices for Cooking Frozen Pack Vegetables
University of Maryland expert warns frozen vegetables behave like perishables once defrosted. At 60 70 F micro organisms multiply quickly. at 40 F they last longer but still slowly grow. Partly thawed peas spoil within a day or two, while fully frozen stay safer longer. Peas survive better than spinach. container type does not change spoilage rate. Safest method is to empty frozen contents into hot cooking water.
