Chaos Defrost - Panasonic Inverter NN-GD38H Operating Instruction And Cook Book

Chaos Defrost

This feature allows you to defrost minced meat, chops, chicken portions, meat joints
and bread. Press Chaos Defrost to select the correct defrost category and then enter in
the weight of the food in grams (see page 39).
Foods should be placed in a suitable dish, whole chickens and joints of meat should be on an
upturned saucer or on a microwave safe plate. Chops, chicken portions and slices of bread
should be placed in a single layer. It is not necessary to cover the foods.
The chaos theory principle is used in auto weight defrost programs to give you a quick and
more even defrost. The chaos system uses a random sequence of pulsing microwave energy
which speeds up the defrosting process. During the program the oven will beep to remind you
to check the food. It is essential that you turn and stir the food frequently and shield if
necessary. On hearing the first beep you should turn and shield (if possible). On the
second beep you should turn the food or break it up.

Note
1. Check foods during defrosting. Foods vary in their defrosting speed.
2. It is not necessary to cover the food.
3. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven "beeps". Shield if necessary
(see point 5)
4. Minced meat/chops/chicken portions should be broken up or separated as soon
as possible and placed in a single layer.
5. Shielding prevents food cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens and
joints of meat. The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast/fat with smooth
pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.
6. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum 1-2 hours
for joints of meat and whole chickens).
