Defrosting Guidelines
Standing times
Individual portions of food may be
cooked almost immediately after
defrosting. It is normal for large
portions of food to be frozen in the
centre. Before cooking, allow to stand
for a minimum of one hour. During
this standing time, the temperature
becomes evenly distributed and the
food is defrosted by conduction. N.B. If
the food is not going to be cooked
immediately, store it in the refrigerator.
Never refreeze defrosted food without
fi rst cooking it.
Joints and poultry
It is preferable to place the joints on an
upturned plate or plastic rack so that
they are not resting in the juices. It is
essential to protect delicate or
projecting parts of this food with small
pieces of foil to prevent these parts
from cooking. It is not dangerous to
use small pieces of foil in your oven,
provided they do not come into
contact with the oven walls.

Minced meat or cubes of meat
and seafood
Since the outside of these foods
quickly defrosts, it is necessary to
separate them, break the blocks into
pieces frequently while defrosting and
remove them when they have
defrosted.
Small portions of food
Chops and chicken pieces must be
separated as soon as possible so that
they defrost evenly throughout. Fatty
parts and the ends defrost more
quickly. Place them near the centre of
the turntable or protect them.
Bread
Loaves will require standing time to
allow the centre to thaw. Standing time
can be shortened if slices are
separated and rolls and loaves cut in
half.
