Detailed explanation-1: -When thawing frozen food, it’s best to plan ahead and thaw in the refrigerator where it will remain at a safe, constant temperature-at 40 °F or below. There are three safe ways to thaw food: in the refrigerator, in cold water, and in the microwave. In a hurry? It’s safe to cook foods from the frozen state.
Detailed explanation-2: -The safest way to thaw frozen meat is in the refrigerator. Generally, an average size cut of meat takes a day to fully defrost in a fridge. Larger cuts or whole birds (like a turkey) take about 24 hours per five pounds to thaw.
Detailed explanation-3: -As long as the refrigerator temperature is between 34° and 40°F, thawing in the refrigerator will be safe. Use a plate or pan under thawing meat to make sure dripping does not spill on foods, especially foods to be eaten without additional cooking.
