noobie cooking question

FrostedNipple · 19 Jan 2009 at 18:04

Sorry about this, but i couldn't find anything on google.

I have a ready made chicken korma, and it said I could freeze it, so I did. However there are no cooking instructions from frozen. It says to thoroughly defrost then follow the normal cooking instruction.

How do I defrost it quickly, without having to wait for hours?

Cheers.

Give it a few minutes in the microwave, its what I would do.

Just nuke it

Microwave and make sure it's piping hot throughout, including the middle of any chicken pieces.

Sellotape it to a diesel engine, idle the car/truck for 5 minutes (10 if not been used for 30+ minutes). Throw packet in boilding water for 20 minutes, enjoy.

If it doesn't work leave it in the back garden, leave it on the floor, go back inside, sit down at your computer, goto nukeitfromorbit.gov.uk, type in the coordnites.

Just take it out of the freezer in the morning and leave on the side, it'll be defrosted by dinner time.
or nuke in the microwave, which will probably mess it up a little but it'll be edible.

I tend to stick anything like a frozen curry in a saucepan. Let it defrost with some simmering water and boil the bugger for 10 mins. I'm still here.

What I do is whack it in the oven for an hour at 70 degrees, this way it will defrost and not cook.

Stuck it in the microwave for 15 minutes. Rice went a bit hard, but was still a tasty nutritious meal

should have topped the rice up with a lil water to keep it nice n moist

tasty - maybe
nutritional - maybe not

and it can't be nutritional why? I always thought the bad thing with ready made meals was a slightly higher salt content, but seen as my other meals were cornflakes and peanut butter sandwiches I don't think it is bad really.
