Yep, my takeaway was anything smaller than a hamster you can just toss in the freezer and later revive in a microwave and anything bigger you can’t. So single cells or small groups of cells seems pretty trivial.

When one is thawing a hamster in a microwave (hypothetically) what power level would be best to use for a safe thaw?
