What is the safest method to thaw frozen foods?
Frozen foods must be thawed carefully to prevent contamination and spoilage. The safest method of thawing frozen food is to place them in the refrigerator. It takes an average of 24 hours to thaw a 5-lb. package of frozen meat. GE’s new CustomCool Technology includes an ExpressThaw feature that allows you to safely thaw frozen foods in a matter of hours, not days, utilizing the safest method of thawing the refrigerator. Never thaw frozen foods at room temperature.
