Turbo defrost
Guidelines
1.
SMALL PIECES (mince/chops/chicken portions)
Chops and chicken portions should be arranged in a single layer and turned
frequently during defrosting. It is necessary for mince to be broken up
frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in a large shallow
Pyrex® dish. Standing time 20-30 minutes. Not suitable for sausages, these
can be defrosted manually. Please refer to defrosting chart in the cookbook
on page 24.
2.
BIG PIECE
Whole chickens and meat joints will require shielding during defrosting
especially if it is a particularly fatty piece. This is to prevent food starting to
cook on the outside edges. Protect wings, breast and fat with smooth pieces
of aluminium foil secured with cocktail sticks. Do not allow the foil to touch
the walls of the oven. Standing time of at least 1-2 hours should be allowed
for joints after defrosting.
3.
BREAD
This program is suitable for small items which are required for immediate use,
they may feel warm straight after defrosting. Loaves can also be defrosted on
this program but these will require standing time to allow the centre to thaw
out. Standing time can be shortened if slices are separated and buns and
loaves cut in half. Items should be turned during defrosting. Standing time 10-
30 minutes. A longer time may be needed for large loaves. This program is
not suitable for cream cakes or desserts e.g. cheesecake.
Note
1. The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight the oven can
accommodate.
2. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.
3. If 'HOT' appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too high from
previous use and an auto program can not be set. Cooking mode and time may
still be set manually.
