cooked. A slight increase in cooking time
may be necessary.
• Do not place baking trays directly on the
oven base as it interferes with the oven air
circulation and can lead to base burning;
use the lower shelf position.
Hints and tips when defrosting
• Place the frozen food in a single layer
where possible and turn it over half way
through the defrosting process.
• The actual speed of defrosting is influ-
enced by room temperature. On warm
days defrosting will be faster than on cool-
er days.
• It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poul-
try slowly in the fridge. However, this proc-
ess can be accelerated by using the de-
frost function. Small or thin fish fillets, fro-
zen 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.
• Do not leave food at room temperature
once it is defrosted. Cook raw food imme-
diately or store cooked food in the fridge,
once it has cooled.
