Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ
-
ent ways:
–
in the microwave oven,
–
in the oven using the “Fan” or “De
-
frost” setting,
–
at room temperature,
–
in the fridge.
Poultry It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when de
-
frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Fruit should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packing or in a covered
bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vegeta-
bles.
Never re-freeze partially or fully de
-
frosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
