Mrs V Did Christmas day and it was a triumph. Chicken & Beef. MIL doesn't like Turkey. Not much in the way of leftovers.
I managed not to burn the Turkey & Roasties today. I think adding half a bottle of wine to the gravy was a masterstroke!

We had beef - a Swiss recipe - cooked in the oven wrapped in water-soaked hay. Deliciously tender and moist. Christmas pud for afters.
Today - boiled rice and pork.

But I'm intrigued - Why cold water? Surely it would be better to soak it in boiling water?!

If you want to speed up defrosting meat put in pan, bowl or sink of COLD water.
Mind you were I am you can run out and get some chicken or fish as some small grocers are open.
