DEFROSTING CHART

Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films or cardboard
packages can be placed directly in the oven as long
as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist
ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting time.
Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep
block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. Individual
slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of aluminiumfoil
if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and
wing tips).

Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting pro-
cess.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better if
stirred during defrosting time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw the food
slightly and allow the process to finish during standing
time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves the
result since the temperature will then be evenly distri-
buted throughout the food.
