Defrosting meats tips & techniques
"WARNING: Do not use aluminium foil during cooking cycle."
• You can defrost meats in their original wrapping as long as no metal is present. Remove any metal rings,
twist ties, wire or foil.
• Place meat in a shallow baking dish to catch juices.
• Defrost meats only as long as necesssary. Separate items like chops, sausages and bacon as soon as
possible. Remove defrosted portions and continue to defrost remaining pieces.
• Whole pieces of meat are ready for standing time as soon as a fork can be pushed into the centre of the
meat using moderate pressure. The centre will still be icy. Allow to stand until completely thawed.
• Defrost meat on defrost mode.
