￿Danger of salmonella poisoning. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from the defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and wash the tray, the sink and your hands.

Useful tips

–Where possible, remove the packaging and put the food to be defrosted on the universal tray or into a suitable dish.

–When defrosting poultry, put it on the rack over the universal tray to catch the defrosted liquid so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

–Meat, poultry and fish do not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently soft to take herbs and seasoning.
