A quick 'defrosting' question.

[mistyoptic]

I took a home made chicken casserole out of the freezer yesterday. Put it in the fridge to defrost and have for late lunch today (maybe 1400ish).
It's no where near defrosted.
Can I let it defrost at room temperature??
I know you have to be careful with some foods.

We freeze such things in plastic containers (from Lakeland). They come out of the freezer at breakfast and are defrosted by teatime. If it’s warm weather they spend the day on the pantry floor, otherwise on the kitchen worktop. Been doing it for twenty years and still here to tell the tale. Must make sure you heat it through thoroughly, as others have said

I presume from this that you do not have a dog???
certainly not a Lab
