Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
–
in a microwave oven,
–
at room temperature,
–
in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
–
in a steam oven.

observe proper hygiene when
defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Drain it away
and promptly wash the container, the
sink and your hands. Danger of

temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Simply place directly into
boiling water or hot oil.
