Reheat during approx. 20 minutes or until the juice appears liquid. If the product is already thawed, reduce cooking time. 2- In the microwave: Defrost the unopened product in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Open the bag and pour the meat and its juices into a microwave-safe dish. Cover and heat through on high for 4 minutes. Baste the meat with its juices, cover, and microwave for an additional 3 minutes.
