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.
