Defrosting Tips
1.It is betterto underestimatedefrosting time if youareunsure. Food will continueto defrost duringthestandingtime.
2.Separate food assoon as possible.
3.Turn large items, e.g.joints,halfway throughthe defrosting time.
4.Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
5.Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
6.Place food in a larger container than that whichit was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.
7.Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turnover halfwaythrough defrosting timeorat pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips canbeshielded with small pieces ofsmooth foil.
Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods whichcannot bestirred to ensure that thecentreis completelydefrosted before cooking.
