￿Select the defrosting time (see table) and confirm.

Tips for defrosting

￿Do not cook with defrosting liquids.

–When defrosting poultry, set the food on the rack and insert the drip tray beneath it. This way the food will not lay in its defrosting liquid.

–Food which will not release defrosting liquid can be placed on the rack or in a container.

–Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost it so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Fish coated with breadcrumbs should be fully defrosted so that the coating sticks.

–Turn, stir or separate food about halfway through the defrosting process.

–Allow food to stand at room temperature after defrosting. This compensation time (see table) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully defrosted.

–Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted.

–Defrost deep frozen, precooked meals according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

–Defrost baked items such as pastry or cakes in a closed freezer bag.
