Cooking Smart Defrosting guide This defrosting guide is based on the following standard: That frozen food has an internal temperature between 0 °F and -4 °F (-18 °C and -20 °C). The standing time varies depending on the food type (meat or vegetables) and serving size (thinner or thicker pieces of food). • Put frozen food in a microwave-safe container uncovered. • Turn it over halfway through defrosting time and drain well when complete.
