MSG has been used for well over a century as a food additive, but in the last couple of decades anecdotal claims of illness have been linked to MSG consumption.SG is the salt form of glutamic acid, which is a naturally occurring amino acid. Seaweeds and many other plants and vegetables contain glutamic acid.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Auto-defrost, automatic defrost or self-defrosting is a technique which regularly defrosts the evaporator in a refrigerator or freezer. Appliances using this technique are often called frost free, frostless or no-frost.
Thawing. 1  You can thaw by immersing packaged poultry in cold water, making sure to change the water every half hour. 2  Defrost in the refrigerator, not on the counter, allowing a few hours to a full day, depending on size. A safe guideline is to allow five hours per pound. When defrosting poultry in the refrigerator, make sure to put it on the bottom shelf in the back of the fridge. Always cook poultry the day it completely thaws.
