chicken deforstage?

[Mr. Mulder]

rite, if i take chicken out of the freezer now (10am) will it be defrosted for about 6pm? And also, how do you defrost it lyke? just take it out the freezer and put it to one side or put it in the fridge or something else? :eyebrows:

it's breasts.

(breasts, lol :blushing: )

[Mr. Mulder]

made us steak, jacket potato and veg last night it.fucking.rawked but the steak was bought chilled so there was none of this confusion :unsure:

[chalice]

Put it on a plate, cover it and stick it in the fridge.

Best to leave it for about 12 hours, though.

Depends on what size it is, like. Like so many other things in life.

[Mr. Mulder]

12 hours!? what if i leave it to defrost out of the fridge? :eyebrows:

...i wanna eat it tonight :emo:

[chalice]

You can, but put it somewheres cool.

Just read that it's breasts (breasts, lol). Might now take that long after all.

It would take longer if it was on the bone (bone, lol). Might be alright for about 6 this evening.

[Mr. Mulder]

how do ewe know when its defrosted lyke? and the microwave seems to have a button with defrost written on it? :unsure:

[chalice]

You'll know it's defrosted if you can't break a window with it.

You can defrost it in the micro but I wouldn't know about that cos I don't trust the cunts.

[Mr. Mulder]

its skinless boneless breast fillets, is that kewl? :unsure:

i've put them on a plate on the counter and covered them with a towel, is that good? :unsure:

[Mr. Mulder]

and what if it gets to lyke 6 o'clock and they almost ok but only just a little bit frozen? if i just george forman the fuck out of it would that be ok by the rules? :unsure:

[chalice]

They should be fine.

Pick them up and give them a grope. Hard is bad. Soft is good.

DO NOT attempt to Foreman them if they're even a wee bit hard in the middle.

[Mr. Mulder]

Hard is bad. Soft is good.


that goes against everything i stand for :no:


what if rite, they're a bit hard in the middle and i just use that microwave button to make them all the way soft and then george formang them? :unsure:

[chalice]

Phone your mum ffs.

[Mr. Mulder]

racist.

[Mr. Mulder]

chicken update: just got back from town and the chicken seems to be doing quite well, its slimy to touch and i closed all the windows and put the heating on and that seems to be helping :smilie4:

[Mr JP Fugley]

If they feel soft they are fine, even if cold.

If you fondle the breasts and they feel as if there are ice crystals inside there are probably ice crystals inside. Don't cook them, defrost in the microwave. A minute at a thyme until they feel right.

You will know.

Breasts (titter)

Titter (glag)

Glag (guffaw)

[Biggles]

See that towel Mulder - put it in the wash basket after you are finished defrosting the chicken (unless you want salmonella with your next meal). I would be surprised if the breasts (lol) were still remotely frozen by 6pm. If it was a whole chicken it would have needed to come out last night (gay chickens FTW).

[Proper Bo]

ffs, chicken, microwave, switch microwave on. done, yes?

[peat moss]

Leave in the fridge then last half hour run under cold water to finish defrosting ( leave in package ) . You''ll end up with Chicken Al La Shits if you leave on the counter all day .

[Mr. Mulder]

fuck! really!??? its been on the counter since 10 this morning, why's that bad? :unsure:

[chalice]

fuck! really!??? its been on the counter since 10 this morning, why's that bad? :unsure:

Cos the higher the temperature, the more germs will proliferate, like. True story.

[Biggles]

Wash it well and cook it thoroughly and it will be fine though. But wash your hands after you put it on to cook and put that feckin towel in the wash!!!

[Mr JP Fugley]

Ignore them mulder.

Flash fry the fecker but remember to leave it a wee bit pink in the middle for texture. Just wipe your hands on the same towel, no point in making another towel wet ffs.

Any you don't eat freeze it again for later.

I can't see anything wrong with that whatsoever, I say you should go with what jp says, mouldy.

[Mr. Mulder]

...well ......if the interwebs say i should then.... :unsure:

[Skweeky]

FFS. How did you make it to 22 without defrosting a chicken breast?

If you left it on the counter, do NOT eat it ffs. Or your arse will be looking like the Japanese flag for the next 48 hours.
Never defrost chicken by leaving it out on the counter, it is too high a risk for salmonella infection. If you don't want to defrost it in the microwave, then leave it in the fridge overnight.
Defrosting by microwave is absolutely fine, but do it as JP says. If going from fully frozen, wack it on defrost for 3 minutes, then do it 1 minute at a time. Otherwise you might end up with a very dry bit of meat indeed. If your chicken is not packed in a seperate pouch, put a tablespoon of water in the dish with it before putting it in the microwave.

[Mr. Mulder]

oh shit. the chicken has been on the counter since this morning, do i have to throw it out now ffs?

[Proper Bo]

just fucking cook it

[Skweeky]

oh shit. the chicken has been on the counter since this morning, do i have to throw it out now ffs?


Mate. If you had left it out, and covered it up so no air could get to it and you wacked it in the grill or whatever as soon as it had been defrosted, you probably would get away with it. That thing has been out there for 10 hours, and I assure you, it will have been defrosted hours ago.

It's your stomach and I guess a wee game of diarrhoea roulette is always good fun.

Cook it, eat it, see what happens.

You know it makes sence.

[Skweeky]

If you do eat it, let us know, so we can get a wee sweepstake going.

[Mr JP Fugley]

:lol:

I never buy frozen poultry, even if I did Mrs JP would bin it instantly. It's just not worth it.

[Biggles]

Personally I would just wash it really well and then cook it thoroughly - attractive though the pink option is.

Depends how susceptible you are to the skits though. If you can eat a Doner with no ill effect I think this would prolly be OK.

You could wash it in dosmestos to be really really sure but it might flavour the meat a little - extra garlic if you go down this route.

What are you cooking btw?

[Skweeky]

:no:

Don't do it mouldy.

Chicken I thought. :blink:

He doesn't do cooking mate, grilled or fried as is.

[Mr JP Fugley]

:no ::yup:

I agree with the mad lassie

Unless it's moving on it's own, you'll be fine :j2smilie:

[tesco]

But shouldn't you start the sweepstakes before he eats it and posts the results?:unsure:

Homophobe.

Stop using such big words.
Just say what you really mean. :cry:

OK, decades of tradition.

:lol:

Fuck sake, what did I do now?

[Skweeky]

Tesco, the sweepstake would be about how long it would be before he dies. It would be more difficult to do that if he didn't eat the chicken.

Think of it as an Easter Egg, mate.

I'm quite sure you know what I mean.

Other folk are probably all like ... wtf. What's chavis on about.

Salmonella can kill :snooty:

The little ones are more susceptible as well.

[Barbarossa]

FFS. How did you make it to 22 without defrosting a chicken breast?

I've never defrosted a chicken in my life, and I'm much older than 22 :unsure:

[Skweeky]

Yeah, but look at the fucking state of you.

[Barbarossa]

*looks*

:eyebrows:

[Skweeky]

It's never too late Barbie. You can still go and defrost that chicken

[Barbarossa]

You need to ask yourself, does the chicken even want to be defrosted. And if so, are you the person to do it. Hmmm?

[Skweeky]

I'm just wondering what state mouldy is in at the moment.

[brotherdoobie]

I'm just wondering what state mouldy is in at the moment.

Hopefully...he's in a state of rehydration.


-bd :mellow:

[Mr. Mulder]

the misses told me to throw it out so i did, i fail to see how you can all give different advice and all be alive at the same time ...i smell shenanigans :eyebrows:

bought some fresh chicken instead and made a korma :smilie4:

:yup:

Don't buy frozen poultry. Just don't do it.

If you can get free range, corn fed that's the boy to go for.

[Biggles]

Morrisons do nice free range chicken breasts. They taste like, well, chicken really. A rare thing these days.

[Snee]

I had chicken wot had been defrosted yesterday, and I did not die.

True story.

[Biggles]

Given some of the shite Mulder has eaten I doubt very much if it would have troubled him. However if he was entertaining a laydeee I think he was perhaps wise to err on the side of caution.

SAFE DEFROSTING
FSIS recommends three ways to defrost chicken: in the refrigerator, in cold water and in the microwave. Never defrost chicken on the counter or in other locations. It's best to plan ahead for slow, safe thawing in the refrigerator. Boneless chicken breasts will usually defrost overnight. Bone-in parts and whole chickens may take 1 to 2 days or longer. Once the raw chicken defrosts, it can be kept in the refrigerator an additional day or two before cooking. During this time, if chicken defrosted in the refrigerator is not used, it can safely be refrozen without cooking first.




They don't say anything about towels though.

[Snee]

Exactly.

I think we've established that the nay-sayers just say nay, by now :yes:

[Mr JP Fugley]

Yeah, it's all very good and easy to be a nay sayer. Anyone can nay, it's much more difficult to yay.
