Remove food from wrapper to prevent holding steam and juice and place in a
microwave-safe baking dish or a roasting rack to catch drippings.
Cover thin parts with aluminum foil to prevent overdefrosting.
Because some foods will still be icy in the center, it is necessary to have a standing
time after defrosting the food in the oven. Food should be taken out of the oven to
complete defrosting. A longer standing time might be required for denser foods such
as roasts.
