It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry. Do not use the liquid from
the defrosted poultry. Pour it away,
and wash the tray, the sink and your
hands.
Tips
–
Where possible, remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on the universal tray or into
a suitable dish.
–
When defrosting poultry, put it on the
rack over the universal tray to catch
the defrosted liquid so that the meat
is not lying in this liquid.
–
Meat, poultry and fish do not need to
be fully defrosted before cooking.
Defrost so that the surface is
sufficiently soft to take herbs and
seasoning.
Defrosting times
The time needed for defrosting
depends on the type and weight of the
