I used to just take them out & let them melt in the fridge overnight. I try not to microwave b/c it can have hot spots.

I did, on like 40% power.

I put the cube in one of DS little BPA free plastic bowls then put that bowl in a bowl of hot water. As it started to defrost, I would break it up and stir it.
I only used the microwave when I was in a rush.

I put them in a small ziploc sandwich bag & put that in a pot of hot water. Not hot spots & the meat doesn't dry out.

put in small glass bowl and nuke for 15-25 sec. some is warm, some is frozen... break up the remaining frozen parts with his spoon and everything becomes room temp Pear needs 15sec, and dense things like peas require closer to 25sec.... (also pear I serve a bit cooler than room temp, and peas a bit warmer)

I never heat his stuff up in plastic.....

Thanks for the responses...
I have been giving her luke warm food, so if I defrost overnight I still have to heat before eating.
