Cooking Times and Food Safety
Use these times purely as a guide. They’re 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.
