Defrosting guidelines
For Best Results:
1. Place foods in a suitable container. Meat joints and chickens should be placed
on an upturned saucer or on a plastic rack if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as foods vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the whole food (see point 6).
4. Always turn or stir the food especially when the oven "beeps". Shield if
necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat, chops and other small items should be broken up or separated
and placed in a single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food from cooking. It is essential when defrosting chickens
and joints of meat.
The outside thaws out first, so protect wings/breast/fat/bones with smooth
pieces of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the centre of the food thaws out (minimum of 1 hour
for joints of meat and whole chickens).
Arrange food in a single
layer.
Weight: 100 - 600 g
For defrosting bread (whole, slices, rolls) and cakes. Cream
cakes and iced cakes are unsuitable for this programme.
Place the bread or cake on a large plate or shallow dish.
Press Bread/Cake several times until the appropriate weight
appears, and press Start. Turn at beeps. Allow bread to
stand for 10 (white light bread) to 30 minutes (dense rye
bread). Cut large loaves in half during standing time.
Turn or break up food as
soon as possible.
