DefrOSTINg cHArT
F rozen food in plastic bags , plastic films or card-
board packages can be placed directly in the oven
as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g.
metal twist ties).
The shape of the package alters the defrosting
time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a
deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost. individu-
al slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of alumini-
umfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken
legs and wing tips).
Turn large joints halfway through the defrosting
process.
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces defrost better
if stirred during defrosting time.
when defrosting it is better to under-thaw the
food slightly and allow the process to finish during
standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always improves
the result since the temperature will then be even-
ly distributed throughout the food.
