Though your meat or fish may seem to be frozen as if it were
frozen normally, with soft freezing you need not separate food or
wait for it to thaw because your meat or fish can be cut with a
knife immediately after you remove them from the versa
compartment, thereby shortening your cooking time!
Items that have been transferred from freezer to soft freezer or
soft freezer to freezer should be used within 1-2 weeks.
Meat that has been stored in the freezer or was bought frozen
can be transferred to the soft freezer, so you can divide up and
remove only the amount that you want to use.
Depending on its size, your meat
should be ready to cut within 2-5
hours after it is transferred to the
soft freezer.
Thinly sliced meat or bacon can be cut immediately. They will
thaw while cooking or dipped in basting, during which time you
can easily separate them.
They may not be able to
be separated
immediately after they
are removed from the
soft freezer.
You can cut and remove the amount
you want to use.
Furthermore, if you cut them into
small cubes, they will thaw enough
in 15-30 minutes for you to loosen
with your hands.
Cutlets can be cooked on a
low flame without taking
the time to thaw them. Cod
roe and other highly salted
foods do not freeze and can
be used immediately.
