It may be that you have different quantities from those

specified in the tables.

A rule of thumb can be applied:

Double the amount Ć almost double the time

Half the amount

Ć half the time.

Always place the ovenware on the turntable.

Place the frozen food in an open container on the

turntable.
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken

or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with

small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not come

into contact with the oven walls. You can remove the

foil half way through the defrosting time.
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the

defrosting time. Large pieces of food should be turned

several times.
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature

for a further 10 to 20 minutes so that the temperature

can stabilize. With poultry, the giblets can be removed

at this point. Meat can still be prepared even if it is

frozen in the centre.
