Defrosting Tips
It is better to underestimate defrosting
time if you are unsure. Food will
continue to defrost during the standing
time.
Separate food as soon as possible.
Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway
through the defrosting time.
Remove any thawed food as soon as
possible.
Remove or open any packaging
before defrosting.
Place food in a larger container than
that which it was frozen in, this will
allow for easy stirring.
Begin thawing poultry, breast side
down and turn over halfway through
defrosting time or at pause. Delicate
areas such as wing tips can be
shielded with small pieces of smooth
foil.
Standing time is very important,
particularly for large, dense foods
which cannot be stirred to ensure that
the centre is completely defrosted
before cooking.
