Speed, quality, and safety guaranteed.<\/strong>[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Freezing does not kill microorganisms, but it does slow their growth. When you thaw frozen food, parts of the outer surface warm up enough to allow dangerous microorganisms to grow. Since it can take more than 4 hours to thaw most food, it is very important to thaw it properly, so dangerous microorganisms are not allowed to grow.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/6″][vc_single_image image=”2013″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][elx_heading font_container=”h4″ text_color=”inherit”]Per the United States Department of Agriculture \u201cFood Safety and Inspection Service Department\u201d a few traditional methods of thawing food are:[\/elx_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][elx_heading font_container=”h4″ text_color=”orange”]In a refrigerator.[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]Thaw food in a refrigerator at 40 \u030aF (5 \u030aC) or lower to keep dangerous microorganisms from growing. Planning ahead is the key because a large frozen turkey requires at least 24 hours\u00a0for every 5 lbs, meaning for a large party you\u2019ll need a big bird of about 15 to 20 lbs (figure 1 1\/2 lbs for each person). In traditional refrigerator thawing that means it will take 3-5 days to thaw safely. Small amounts of frozen food \u2014 such as a pound of ground meat or boneless chicken breasts \u2014 require a full day to thaw.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][elx_heading font_container=”h4″ text_color=”orange”]Under running water.[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]Thaw food submerged under running water at a temperature of 70 \u030aF (21 \u030aC) or lower. The water flow must be strong enough to wash food particles into the overflow drain. You must allow running water to run over thawing food product to wash away any contaminants or bacteria that may be removed from the surface of the thawing product during the thawing process. Imagine all the wasted water during the process.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][elx_heading font_container=”h4″ text_color=”orange”]In a microwave oven.[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]You can safely thaw food in a microwave oven if the food will be cooked immediately. Large items such as roasts or turkeys may not thaw well in a microwave.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][elx_heading font_container=”h4″ text_color=”orange”]As part of the cooking process.[\/elx_heading][vc_column_text]You can thaw food as part of the cooking process. For example, when you cook frozen hamburger patties on the grill, you thaw the hamburgers and then cook them to a minimum internal temperature of 155 \u030aF (68 \u030aC) for 15 seconds all in one step.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As soon as raw or cooked meat, poultry or egg products begin to thaw and become warmer than 40 \u00b0F (5 \u030aC), bacteria that may have been present before freezing can begin to multiply.<\/p>\n

Perishable foods should never be thawed on the counter or in hot water and must not be left at room temperature for more than two hours.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][elx_heading font_container=”h3″ text_color=”orange”]Speed is of the essence
\nwhen trying to thaw foods safely prior to cooking.[\/elx_heading][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2033″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Electrolux Thawing Cabinet is the premium solution for bringing frozen foods up to a temperature ready for cooking.<\/p>\n

Safety is key as large volumes are thawed evenly and quickly: up to 145 lbs (66 kg) in just 6 hours![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]The Electrolux Thawing Cabinet is designed to fit through your kitchen doors because it\u2019s on wheels while fitting all the food you need inside.
