Defrosting Techniques

 

 

 

Arrange

Arrange food in a single even layer on the shallow dish. This will ensure that

 

all parts of the food defrosts evenly.

Separate

Foods may be stuck together when removed from the freezer. It is important

 

to separate foods as soon as possible during defrosting.

 

e.g. steaks, chops

Stand

Standing time is necessary to ensure food is thoroughly defrosted. Food

 

must stand, covered, for a length of time to ensure the centre has completely

 

defrosted.

 

 

NOTE:

• Remove all packing and wrapping before defrosting.
