Tips
- When defrosted, food should be cool, but softened
in all areas.
- Poultry and fish may be placed under running cool
water until defrost.
- Shielding roasts and steaks prevents the edges from
center of the food has defrosted. Use narrow, flat,
smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edge and
thinner sections of the food.
- Standing time is very important, particulary for large,
dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that
the centre is evenly defrosted.
