Meat for going in to pies and pastys for the defrosting and then flour and the likes for decanting
thanks

Dear imalyon,

Is it cooked or fresh meat?
Already cut? IQF or block frozen?
Will you heat it or isthis only done by the consumers?
Are there any legal requirements on defrosting or temperature during process?
How are you defrosting at the moment?
Are there any monitoring/checks during your defrosting process?

Dear,

Procedures are ingredient dependent, as defrosting in frozen orange concentrate is for 5 days.

Dear imalyon,

Well, briefly, the usual recommended defrost procedure is (home) done in a fridge or faster alternative options as discussed by FSIS. But these not much use for a 1-ton load ???

In addition to Madame A.D-tor queries, I've heard of "decanting" wine but meat never. Defeated google also.

I'm afraid yr process remains obscure. (but perhaps not to any pie-makers here ??)
