Coming up to Christmas do you find that there is always one thing you forget to do?
Mine is always getting stuff out of the freezer to make sure it defrosts on time – it was even the turkey once!
Introducing the ‘VonShef Magical Defroster Tray’, it allows frozen food to defrost quickly and safely. It can defrost chicken breasts, pork chops, steak etc. in about 50 minutes, far quicker than leaving out of the fridge and doesn’t partially cook as would a Microwave. There are no chemicals, electricity or heat, perfect for when you’ve forgotten to defrost something for dinner.
The Magical Defroster tray stays cool to the touch throughout its use, no pre-heating or hot water is required. Simply place frozen food onto the tray and it will defrost up to 10x faster than at room temperature.

Me and my sister cooked dinner between us a few years ago and forgot to take the plastic bag of giblets out before we cooked it, the whole thing smelt and tasted strange , no one noticed and we never told anyone , UNTIL NOW xxx

As a student i used to go round to my friends (all boys) houses and cook them Christmas dinners in the run up. The deal was they’d buy food, i’d cook, they’d wash. One of my friends forgot to defrost the turkey, he told me several years later that he defrosted it in the bath, in warm water… eeew!
