It’s best to plan ahead and thaw in the refrigerator as most items require overnight to thaw.

1. Place frozen food in a container to contain defrosting ice.

2. Keep the container in the bottom shelf of the refrigerator (chiller) for 8-10 hours

This is a faster thawing method compared to thawing in the refrigerator. However, it could take a couple of hours depending on weight.

1. Put the frozen item in a watertight plastic bag or container. Submerge the item in tap water.

2. Make sure to change the water every 30 minutes.

3. Cook immediately after thawed.

Frozen food can be laid out overnight to thaw at room temperature.

1. Air temperature should not be higher than 18°C.

2. Air thaw in still air at about 15°C, can take up to about 20 hours to thaw.

*Ready to Fry products needs to be cooked from frozen.
