COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY
•
Use these times purely as a guide.
•
When cooking frozen foods, add 2-3 minutes for seafood and 3-6 minutes for meat and poultry,
depending on the thickness and density of the food.
•
Check food is cooked through before serving. If in doubt, cook it a bit more.
•
Cook meat, poultry, and any derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear.

When cooking pre-packed foods, follow any guidelines on the package or label.
