Defrosting Tips and Techniques

- Eng-18 -

Preparation for Freezing:

1. Heavy-duty plastic wraps, bags and freezer wrap are suitable.
2. Freeze meats, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers, place two

pieces of wax paper between them.

3. REMOVE ALL AIR and seal securely.
4. LABEL package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.
5. Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer maintained at

-18°C or lower).

Defrosting Technique:

1. Remove from wrapper and set on a roasting rack in a dish on Glass Tray.
2. Throughout the defrosting time, remove any defrosted portions of mince or cubed meat, etc.
3. After defrosting, large roasts may still be icy in the centre. Let stand, 15 to 30 minutes, in refrigerator to complete

defrosting.
