DEFROSTING MEAT, POULTRY, FISH & SHELLFISH: TIPS & TECHNIQUES

l

l

You can defrost meats and poultry in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present. Remove any metal rings, twist ties, wire or foil.

Place meat and poultry in a shallow baking dish to catch juices.

Defrost meat using the defrosting table. Separate items like chops, hot dogs, and bacon as soon as possi- ble. Remove thawed portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces.

Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the center of the meat using moderate pressure. The center will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.
