Thawing
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in a fridge
compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this
operation.
Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this
case, cooking will take longer.

and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the
packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage
life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable
