TIPS & INFORMATION
• It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are
unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the
standing time.
• Separate food as soon as possible.
• Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the
defrosting time.
• Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.
• Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.
• Place food in a larger container than what it was frozen in,
this will allow for easy stirring.
• Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over
halfway through defrosting time. Delicate areas such as wing
tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.
• Standing time is very important, particularly for large,
dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the
centre is completely defrosted before cooking.
