1. REFRIGERATOR – 10/12 hours
Place the frozen baby food from the freezer in the refrigerator and let it slowly thaw in 10/12 hours. The best way to do it is moving the frozen container in the refrigerator in the evening, so that the baby food will be ready to use the following morning. The baby food should stay in the refrigerator in a FOOD GRADE container with a lid.

2. IMMERSION IN HOT WATER – 10/20 minutes
Fill a bowl with hot water. Place the baby food in a container with a lid and than in a bag. Let the bag float in the water. The heat of the water will gradually thaw the baby food. Pending the amount of baby food in the bag, it will be defrosted in 10/20 minutes.

3. MICROWAVE – 2 minutes max
When your baby is hungry and you forgot to thaw the baby food, that’s when the microwave can help you! Using either a glass or a silicone container to place the baby food in the microwave for 20 seconds. Open, stir, and place it back for another 20 seconds. Keep doing it up until the baby food will be thawed.
