Meat items found
in the range list A will be prepared
or whole joints requiring preparation.
Remove from the deep freeze,
place on a plastic tray and place
in the fridge.
The larger the
item the sooner it needs to be
taken out to thaw. Never thaw
in warm water, this produces
conditions in which bacteria
thrive and might in some cases
be the cause of food poisoning.
ASK FOR ADVICE
If
you are unsure how long food items take
to defrost always ask the chef or cook
for advice.
A
good chef will always keep a freezer
log of foods; when they were frozen,
their weight and details about the food
itself.
ie. 23 lamb cutlets - panéed - frozen 21st May 1995.
