Thawing
Deep frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in a fridge or
at room temperature, depending on the time available. Small food items may
even be cooked from frozen, in this case cooking will take longer.
Any frozen food which is allowed to thaw accidentally should either be eaten
as soon as possible, or thrown away. Alternatively, if the food is uncooked and
has not been completely defrosted it can be cooked and then refrozen.
Defrosted cooked food must never be refrozen.
Preparation of Ice Cubes
1.
Fill the ice cube tray 3/4 full with cold water, place in the freezing
compartment and leave to freeze.
2.
To remove the cubes twist the tray or hold it under running water for a few
seconds.
Never try to free an ice tray that is frozen to the freezer compartment by
using pointed or sharp edged objects.
