    Can I make a suggestion Milliechops? If you take stuff out of the freezer 24-36 hours before you need it and defrost it in the fridge then it reduces the running cost of the fridge, :money: AND if you forget you still can do it faster out of the fridge without resorting to the microwave? This tip came with my fridge many years ago, and has saved me so much "oops I forgot to defrost" panics since :rotfl:

    Handy little tip that! Cheers! :beer:
