DEFROSTING
ADVICE
Rearrange
Foods that are placed towards the outside of the dish will defrost quicker than foods
in the centre. It is therefore essential that the food is rearranged up to 4 times during
defrosting.
Move closely packed pieces from the outside to the centre and rearrange over-lapping
areas.
This will ensure that all parts of the food defrosts evenly.
