It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at
room temperature.
60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting.
Exceptions: 50 °C for minced meat and game.
Remove all packaging before defrosting. Exceptions:
Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as
otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room temperature after
removing it from the oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.
Use a perforated container with the universal tray underneath
it when defrosting food which will drip, such as poultry. This
way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid.
,
Do not use any juices that appear as a result of
defrosting meat and poultry. Danger of salmonella
poisoning!
Foods which don't drip can be defrosted in a solid cooking
container.
