bigflesh Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Its frozen solid! Any idea's, I just discovered that I forgot to take Tina out of the freezer last night. Should I just bung it in the oven frozen, or should I just run a hairdryer over it before I cook it? Any idea's, I'm getting desperate. If all else fails, I may have to make a Ham sandwich.

xircon Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Does your microwave have a defroft mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigflesh Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 Zircon, no I don't have a Microwave, I'm much more of a traditionalist. I could always leave it on a luke warm radiator for an hour or so... not sure if that would lead to a bout of the runs though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 Xircon, 1)I would think a turkey would be too big for most domestic microwaves, and 2) I would think the turkey's flesh would be too big to defrost safely. so quickly. it needs a good couple of days in a fridge to defrost enough to roast. i'd be very wary of trying that. as I said. Mustard goes well on ham sandwiches... or you could "spice" it up with a bit of cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigflesh Posted December 25, 2006 Author Share Posted December 25, 2006 I know, I'll give it a luke warm bath, minus the soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisTodd Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I was just about to suggest running it under a hot tap. Not that I know anything about these things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may attempt the first ever 1-a-side football match with it in my garden. Although, I don't own any steel toe-capped shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeP Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 DO NOT even consider eating that bird today. As PT says - if it's been in the freezer until this morning you're stuffed. How big is it and what does the wrapping on the bird say? Go by that. You're probably looking at Wednesday being the earliest to consider cooking it, if it's an average to reasoably sized bird. DON'T put it in hot water, run the hair dryer over it, microwave it, etc. Just stick it in a basting tray (as it thaws you'll get some water) and put it somewhere at room temperature. It will be thawed when you can push a skewer through the THICKEST part of the bird without it grinding ice crystals - I'd give it at least 1.5 days, but go by the instructions. You need to make sure that the skewer can go through the legs and the breast without undue resistance. Rushing it or cooking it before it's thawed is VERY risky - it's not soemthing I'd consider event attempting, under any circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
