Robinson said they get hundreds of thousands of calls each year, but the most common is about thawing the turkey.

“That’s probably the most stressful part for most chefs, they don’t realize you have to allow 4kg a day in the fridge. So a 20lb turkey would take four days of thawing time in your fridge,” said Robinson.
