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.
Thin pieces of meat and fish can be
placed directly in a hot pan without
defrosting.
Poultry It is especially important to
observe proper hygiene when
defrosting poultry. Never save the liquid

and promptly wash the container, the

covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Simply place directly into
boiling water or hot oil.
