Always follow USDA guidelines on food safety.
Defrosting in the appliance is significantly shorter than
defrosting at room temperature.
The optimal defrosting temperature is 140°F / 60°C.
Exceptions: Ground meat and game 122°F / 50°C
Remove all packaging before defrosting.
Exceptions:
Leave bread and baked goods in their packaging as
otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
Use a perforated cooking pan when defrosting food which
will drip, such as poultry. This way the defrosted food is not in
the defrosting liquid.
,
Dispose of the liquid from defrosting poultry - Do not
use! Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Food that does not drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking
pan.
