Defrosting Food Safely
- , by Charlotte Miller

The correct place to defrost food is the fridge, leaving food to defrost on the bench leads to the external parts of food reaching a warmer temperature, allowing for potential bacterial growth, which can make us sick.
Remember foods need to be kept cold at below 4 degrees or heated to above 65 degrees, food taken out of the oven/microwave/stove or the fridge need to be eaten within 2 hours or placed back in the fridge. Food at these temperatures for between 2-4 hours can be eaten however it should not be stored again and food at these temperatures for longer than 4 hours should not be eaten.
