Defrost

It is much quicker to defrost food in the
steam oven than at room temperature.
Temperature
140°F / 60°C is the best temperature for
defrosting.
Exception: 122°F / 50°C for minced
meat and game
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before defrost‐
ing.
Exceptions: Leave bread and baked
goods in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room
temperature after removing it from the
oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.

Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Do not use the liquid from defrosted
meat or poultry. Dispose and wash
the container, the sink and your
hands.
Use a perforated container with a solid
container underneath it when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in de‐
frosted liquid.
Foods which don't drip can be defrost‐
ed in a solid cooking pan.

Tips
– Fish does not need to be fully de‐
frosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning. De‐
pending on the thickness of the fish,
2–5 minutes should be enough.
– When defrosting food which has fro‐
zen together, e.g. berries, chops, fish
filets etc. separate it about half-way
through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen ready meals according
to the instructions on the packaging.
