Freezing and storing food

Defrosting frozen goods
Never re-freeze partially or fully de-
frosted food. Defrosted food may only
be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
- In a microwave
- In an oven using “Convection” or the
“Defrost” setting
- At room temperature
- In the Fridge Zone (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat
or fish can be placed directly into a hot
skillet.
Meat and poultry (e.g.,hamburgers,
chicken, fish) should not come into con-
tact with other foods while defrosting.
Catch the defrosting liquid and dispose
of it carefully.
Fruit can be thawed at room tempera-
ture, either in the packaging or in a cov-
ered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot grease. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vegeta-
bles due to changes in the cell struc-
ture.
Cooling drinks quickly
When chilling drinks in the freezer,
make sure that bottles are not left in for
more than one hour. Otherwise they
could burst.
