Tips on defrosting

–All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. When defrosting meat or poultry, place the food in a perforated container and place the solid container underneath to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid. It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the tray, the sink and your hands.

Danger of salmonella!

–Food which will not drip can be placed in a perforated container once the wrapping has been removed.

–Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Depending on the thickness of the fish, 2-3 minutes should be enough.

–When defrosting food which has frozen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish fillets etc separate or break it up about half-way through the defrosting time.

–Allow food to stand at room temperature at the end of defrosting. This standing time (see chart) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully defrosted right through to the core.

–Do not refreeze food once it has thawed.

–Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals according to the manufacturer's instructions.

–Defrost baked goods in a sealed freezer bag.
