DEFROSTING CHART
GENERAL HINTS:
Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic films
or cardboard packages can be placed
directly in the oven as long as the package
has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).
Turn large joints halfway through the
defrosting process.
The shape of the package alters the
defrosting time. Shallow packets defrost
more quickly than a deep block.
Separate pieces as they begin to defrost.
Individual slices defrost more easily.
Shield areas of food with small pieces of
aluminium foil if they start to become warm
(e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).
Boiled food, stews and meat sauces
defrost better if stirred during defrosting
time.
When defrosting it is better to under-thaw
the food slightly and allow the process to
finish during standing time.
Standing time after defrosting always
improves the result since the temperature
will then be evenly distributed throughout
the food.
