Defrosting food
Observe the following basic rules when de-
frosting food:
• To defrost food, remove it from the freezer
and let it defrost at room temperature or
in the refrigerator.
• To defrost food quickly, use the defrost
function on your microwave, for example.
Observe the manufacturer's instructions
and note that bacteria and germs can
form in this way.
• Cook or use thawed foods as soon as
possible.
• Dispose of the defrosting liquid.
• If you only want to defrost part of a pack,
remove the portion you need and imme-
diately close the rest of the pack. This
prevents "freezer burn" and reduces ice
formation on the remaining food.
• Always defrost meat, poultry and fish in
the refrigerator. Make sure that the frozen
food is not immersed in its own thawing
liquid.
