COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
The following times should be used purely as a guide. They are for fresh or fully defrosted food.
•
When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood and 3-6 minutes for meat and
poultry (depending on the thickness and density of the food).
•
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
•
Cook meat, poultry and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook
fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
•
When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
