Defrosting Times - STOVES ST RICH DX S900DF User Manual

USING THE TALL FANNED OVEN - (90CM ONLY DELUXE)
There is no need to interchange dishes
onto different shelves part way through
cooking, as with a conventional oven.
To help the air circulate freely
Position the shelves evenly within the
oven and maintain a clearance from the
oven roof and base.
If more than one cooking dish or bak-
ing tray is to be used on a shelf, leave a
gap of at least 25mm between the items
themselves and the oven interior.
Defrosting and cooling in the tall
oven
Place the food in the centre of the oven
and close the door.
To cool foods after cooking prior to re-
frigerating or freezing, turn the tall oven
control to the defrost position and open
the door.

Defrosting times

Small or thin pieces of frozen fish or meat
- eg; fish filets, prawns & mince will take
approximately 1 - 2 hours.
Placing the food in a single layer will
reduce the thawing time.
A medium sized casserole or stew will
take approximately 3 - 4 hours.
A 1½kg/3lb oven ready chicken will take
approximately 5 hours, remove the giblets
as soon as possible.
Be safe
Do not defrost stuffed poultry using this
method.
Do not defrost larger joints of meat and
poultry over 2kg/4lb using this method.
Never place uncooked food for defrosting
next to cooked food which is to be cooled,
as this can lead to cross contamination.
Defrosting meat, poultry, and fish can be
accelerated using this method but make
sure they are completely thawed before
cooking thoroughly. Place meat and poul-
try on a trivet in a meat tin.
