DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY
Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted
slowly, preferably in a refrigerator (allowing 5-6 hours
per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours
per lb.). Frozen meat or poultry must be completely
defrosted before cooking in the oven. However, to
decrease the amount of time required to defrost food
items, a nonheating fan only setting may be
selected for the main oven only.
OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:
Place food in the oven and close the oven door.
(DX937CX-DH93X-DH93K-DH 93 CX) - Turn the
Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the FAN ONLY
setting.
(DX537CX; DX537CK; DX537CW; DX537X;) - Turn
the Main Oven Control (C) clockwise to the
setting. This defrosts by circulating the air around
the food, time to defrost will depend on type and
size of the food.
NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by
warming the food through.
Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only
setting are cream/cream cakes, butter cream filled
cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches,
pastries, biscuits, bread, croissants, fruit and many
delicate frozen foods. If fish, meat and poultry are to
be defrosted using the fan only setting, where
possible it is recommended that the food should be
small and thin.
The items should be placed so that the maximum
amount of surface area is exposed to the circulating
air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even
defrosting.
Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted
by using the fan only setting up to a maximum
weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).
It is important to wash both meat and poultry and
cooking utensils immediately after defrosting and
before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately
after defrosting.
It is very important to strictly adhere to the
basic principles of food handling and hygiene
to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.
