Defrost feature
Uses of defrost feature
This fan oven function defrosts most foods faster than more
conventional methods. It is particularly suitable for delicate frozen foods
which are to be served cold e.g. cream filled gateaux, cakes covered
with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones, etc.
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.
Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in
weight can be thawed using the
defrost function.
ALL JOINTS OF MEAT AND POULTRY MUST BE THAWED
THOROUGHLY BEFORE COOKING.
ALWAYS COOK THOROUGHLY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAWING.
Selecting defrost
Turn the main oven temperature
control to the defrost setting.
