When defrosting, remember:
• Food should be removed from its packaging
and placed on the oven tray or on a dish.
• Defrost large cuts of meat or fish by placing
them on the grid shelf with a tray underneath
to collect any liquid.
• Meat and fish do not need to be completely
thawed before cooking. It is enough for the
surface to be soft to enable it to be seasoned.
• Food should always be cooked after
defrosting.
• Do not refreeze defrosted food.
