A defrosting method for food, in particular meat, the food being filled into a container rotatable around a rotation axis and heated and rotated after the container is filled, heated air being supplied to the container through a supply opening for the purpose of heating the food and discharged through a discharge opening.

A thermal increase system may be coupled to a containment structure for containing a load. The system includes a plurality of shelf support structures disposed within a cavity. The plurality of shelf support structures is configured to support a repositionable electrode at a plurality of positions within the cavity. The system includes a first electrode disposed at a first surface of the containment structure, wherein the repositionable electrode is disposed within the containment structure so as to divide the cavity into separate volumes. The system includes a radio frequency signal source electrically connected to one or both of the first electrode and the repositionable electrode. The radio frequency signal source is configured to provide radio frequency energy to either or both of the first electrode and the repositionable electrode.

A bag is formed in a gusset bag shape, and sections respectively extending along the short-side portions of a pair of front and back principal-surface film portions are each joined together as end joint portions, to thereby seal frozen food inside the bag. In each end joint portion: the pair of V-shape segments of a side-surface film portion, which is folded inward in a V-shape, is not joined together; and an end of the side-surface film portion is joined only to the ends of the pair of front and back principal-surface film portions extending along the respective short-side portions thereof, to thereby form a side joint region formed so as to expand in a V-shape, each side joint region being formed by joining the end of the side-surface film portion and the ends of the respective principal-surface film portions extending along the short-side portion thereof.
