DEFROSTING FROZEN MEAT & POULTRY

Joints of meat and whole birds should be defrosted slowly, preferably in a refrigerator

(allowing 5-6 hours per lb.) or at room temperature (allowing 2-3 hours per lb.).

Frozen meat or poultry must be completely defrosted before cooking in the oven.

However, to decrease the amount of time required to defrost food items, a non-heating

fan only setting may be selected for the main oven only.

OPERATION: TO ASSIST IN DEFROSTING:

Place food in the oven and close the oven door.

Turn the Multifunction Control (D) clockwise to the Fan Only setting.

This defrosts by circulating the air around the food, time to defrost will depend on type

and size of the food.

NOTES: DO NOT defrost meat and poultry by warming the food through.

Foods ideally suited to defrosting using the fan only setting are cream/cream cakes,

butter cream filled cakes, gateaux, cheese cakes, iced cakes, quiches, pastries, biscuits,

bread, croissants, fruit and many delicate frozen foods.

If fish, meat and poultry are to be defrosted using the fan only setting, where possible it

is recommended that the food should be small & thin.

The items should be placed so that the maximum amount of surface area is exposed to

the circulating air, and that they are turned regularly to ensure even defrosting.

Larger cuts of meat and poultry may be defrosted by using the fan only setting up to a

maximum weight of 2 kg (4lb 8oz).

It is important to wash both meat and poultry and cooking utensils immediately after

defrosting and before cooking. Food should be cooked immediately after defrosting.

It is very important to strictly adhere to the basic principles of food handling and hygiene

to prevent the possibility of bacterial growth.

LIGHT ONLY SETTING (
