Defrosting Tips

1. It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the

standing time.

2. Separate food as soon as possible.

3. Turn large items, e.g. joints, halfway through the defrosting time.

4. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible.

5. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting.

6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring.

7. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause.

Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil.

8. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that

the centre is completely defrosted before cooking.
