I peersonally put it in the fridge the day before i want to use it, then when i am ready i put in glass dish set in a bowl of warm water to get to desired temp. Or I have also put glass dish in oven just long enough to thaw and get warm if I have other items already in the oven. Its what works for us. I suggest NOT to microwave due to uneven heating and could burn baby's mouth. I hope this helps. I LOVE this product and have made all of my baby's food using this!

The makers recommend defrosting in either a pan on the stove or in the microwave. I pop mine out and defrost in the microwave.

I typically defrost them in the fridge over night or pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, depending on consistency. I have read it is not a good idea to defrost by leaving them on the counter because you risk bacteria forming.

We have some small containers that we put it in and freeze it. Pop it in the microwave later.

Hand wash. Cold water. I have a daycare so I hand wash the first few times then throw them in the washier, usually ok

No directions required. Put the tray on the counter, put your frozen food on tray, let sit till defrosted. Proceed to frying, baking, etc.

We usually defrost in the microwave at a low - power 30 - temperature.I would think you could boil in water also.

The freezer can lifts out when the ice cream is done. Remove all the ice cream from the can and then wash the can, paddle and lid under warm soapy water. Occasionally if you put too much cream in it will overflow slightly but again, remove the freezer can, wash it as described, then if there's any liquid around the rubber gasket on the machine, take a damp towel and run around the rim, wiping all the overflow off; you may or may not have some liquid in the bottom of the machine, but just a quick wipe with a damp towel gets it up in short order.

No, that is not an option. We emptied ours and put it outside in warmer weather overnight to defrost.

It didnt take long to defrost. I did a trial run with this product. I placed it in a foil thermal wrap with a frozen ice container. Didnt last long, but my ice container was still frozen

When ice cream is finished, I spoon it out with a large rubber spoon/spatula into a large, plastic former ice cream container - or a large saved cottage cheese container works also. Then use a piece of Saran Wrap cut large enough to put over the container, and rest on top of ice cream down inside, press out the air a little, then put the edges of the wrap over the rim of the container, and put the original lid on it, pressing out as much air as possible.. Then I put my second freezer bowl on the ice creamer maker and make more ice cream. The Saran Wrap helps block air getting to the ice cream, keeps flavor fresh and helps prevent frost build-up on the ice cream. Works pretty well.

I do. I usually premake my hamburgers and then thaw what I need on this. I leave them wrapped in the same plastic wrap I used to package them for the freezer when I defrost them. I don't know if you have to do that, but I find it cleaner. I used to put my old quick defroster in the dishwasher but eventually the black coating started to peel - so I hand wash this one and it's easier if the food isn't directly on it. Hope this helps!

Follow E. Collins instructions below. Wiping it off while still warm works best and some foods do better with just a little spray of oil such as PAM or spray olive oil .

We flash thaw by putting them in a sandwich baggy and running under hot water. Takes about 5 minutes, but it works well. When they are thawed, just snip the corner of the bag and squeeze the food out into a bowl. This method is great for foods like avocado and banana that like to brown if left out for too long.

I just use very warm water and a tiny bit of mild dish soap on a soft sponge. The area where you place the food is very sturdy and can be scrubbed, if necessary. Then I let it air dry on my counter. It's a very easy clean up! I hope this helped :)

I defrost on power level 3. Start with a couple of minutes, check, and then add one or two minutes more depending on the size of food. Watch carefully so it doesn't start to "cook". Have patience. It doesn't matter how many pounds or what kind of food.

Just ice from your freezer works great. Helps to have all your ingredients in the fridge so they dont melt the ice. If not thick enough add a bit more ice.

Hair drier or just turning off the freezer would also work well, just be careful because any plastic in the ice maker could get warped from the heat if you aren't careful.

Pour water in and then add the formula. Push the button and it stirs/mixes it all for you; on top of warming it to the perfect temp...it's the quickest and easiest way to warm formula for my baby. I love it and highly recommend it!!!!! Best purchase I've made!!
