Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. one and one-half quarts water

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Oven and hot trays. Use dry oven gloves for trays and dishes: a hot tray looks just like a cold one. Open the oven door away from your face and let the first rush of heat out.
  • Boiling water and steam. Turn pan handles inward, away from the edge of the hob. Lift lids away from you, and pour hot water away from your body: steam burns too.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. Frozen turkey breasts, bone-in, were used.
  2. The breasts were placed in roasting pans with approximately one and one-half quarts water, and covered with foil.
  3. For both precooked frozen and heat processed products, pans were placed in steamer and steamed to an internal temperature of 77°c (171°F), cooled, boned and hand cut into dices.
