How to defrost?
Some foods do not need to be defrosted to be cooked. Steaks and hamburgers can be cooked over a pre heated grill. Cutlets can be fried or roasted even frozen. Some food can be directly taken from freezer to oven. However, It is convenient to defrost food first, putting it aside on the counter, by using a microwave or submerging the freezer bag into hot water, trying to avoid touching the dry superior side of the pan. Before putting food inside the microwave it’s recommended to prick the bag making evaporation easier.
When food is defrosted decomposition process is faster, so do not refreeze food if a new cooking process has not been done first. For example, defrosted cooked cutlets can not be frozen again; defrosted uncooked cutlets must be cooked and frozen again.
