Thawing Frozen Gumbo

How soon are you going to eat it? I would just put it in the refrigerator.

It requires a temperature of above 32 degrees Fahrenheit. The quicker you’re wanting it defrosted the higher the temperature you need in the environment you’re putting it in. Good luck

Put it in the microwave for like 15-20 minutes on half power to get everything thawed. Then, blast it for 2 minute periods on high until it's hot enough for you.

If you do it this way and wait to start your rice after you start the gumbo on its 20 minutes defrost, the rice and the gumbo should finish up about the same time.

Do what power man said. Run some hot water on the outside of the container and the whole block will slide right out the container.

Put it in the sink with the lid on, run cold water over it until it loosens up
