How to defrost your meat

Quick, safe, and gentle on the meat. Three simple steps.

1. 01

   Keep the meat in its vacuum-sealed packaging

   This stops water getting in and helps prevent bacteria spreading.

2. 02

   Submerge in cold water

   Put it in a bowl or sink of cold tap water. If it's a large piece, change the water every 30 minutes so it stays cold and keeps thawing safely.

3. 03

   Cook immediately

   Once defrosted, cook it straight away. Do not refreeze meat thawed this way unless you cook it first.
