It is best to keep the meat in the freezer.



But before cooking it is normally the case that we just take it out and leave it
outside to defrost. Remember the rule - Never defrost the food at the room
temperature.



Then what is the best practice?



The safest way to defrost is to thaw food in your
refrigerator so plan ahead - if you're planning to make a Chicken
curry tomorrow, you should move it from the freezer to the refrigerator,
allowing for enough time for the meat to defrost depending on its size.
