TO COOL AND DEFROST IN THE TOP OVEN
USES OF COOLING AND DEFROST
This function enables you to cool down hot food
and defrost most foods without heat faster than
some conventional methods as the oven fan
circulates air around the food. It is particularly
suitable for defrosting delicate frozen foods
which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled
gateaux, cakes covered with icings or frostings,
cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
In addition, hot food such as casseroles can be
cooled down more quickly than by conventional
means.
HOW TO COOL / DEFROST
1. Press in the Fan Selector button.
2. The Top oven temperature control should be
in the Off '0' position.
THINGS TO NOTE
The oven fan will operate.
The fan selector indicator neon will illuminate.
HINTS AND TIPS
Place the frozen food in a single layer where
possible and turn it over half way through the
defrosting process.
The actual speed of defrosting is influenced
by
room
temperature.
defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry
slowly in the fridge. However, this process
can be accelerated by using the defrost
function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen
peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver,
thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 -
2 hours.
A 1kg/2¼lb oven ready chicken will be
thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove
the giblets as soon as possible during the
thawing process.
