You can also use the oven for
defrosting.
To defrost select Fan plus Y with a
maximum temperature of 50 °C .
For defrosting meat and delicate foods,
use the lowest possible temperature
(30 °C).
Please note:
– Where possible remove the
packaging and put the food to be
defrosted on a baking tray or into a
dish.
– All meat and poultry should be fully
defrosted before cooking. Do not use
the liquids from defrosting.
– When defrosting poultry, put it on the
rack over the grill pan to catch the
defrosted liquid so that the meat is
not lying in this liquid.
It is particularly important to observe
food hygiene rules when defrosting
poultry. Do not use the liquid from
the defrosted poultry. Pour it away,
and wash the tray, the sink and your
hands. Danger of salmonella.
– Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently soft to
take herbs and seasoning.
Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
