Notes
Preparing food
• Use food that has been frozen at -18 °C and stored in portionsized quantities that are as thin as pos-
sible. Take the food to be defrosted out of all packaging and weigh it. You need to know the weight
to set the programme.
• Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and
poultry and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with
other foods.
Ovenware
• Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china or glass plate, but do not cover.
• When defrosting chicken and chicken portions (d 01), an audible signal will sound on two occasions to
indicate that the food should be turned.
Resting time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional 10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even
temperature. Large pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller pieces. Flat pieces of
meat and items made from minced meat should be separated from each other before leaving to stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even though thick pieces of meat may still be
frozen in the middle. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
