Defrosting meat in the fridge is the safest method and generally takes a whole day to defrost safely. Accordingly, a generally rule is to allow 10 – 12 hours per kilogram of meat.

Planning what and when you want to defrost is a good idea, as it allows you to prepare space in the fridge and allows you enough time to fully defrost the meat. So, here’s how to do it:

1. Calculate defrosting time and prepare space in fridge.

2. Place meat on a tray at the bottom of the fridge (the tray will catch any juices).

3. Once thoroughly deforested, aim to cook within 24 hrs!

4. For best results allow the meat up to 2hrs at room temperature before cooking.
