Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional
time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen
poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
