Defrosting
For defrosting frozen fruit, vegetables and baked items.
Poultry, meat and fish should ideally be defrosted in the
refrigerator. Not suitable for cream cakes or cream
gateaux.
Use the following shelf positions when defrosting:
■
1 wire rack: Position 2
■
2 wire racks: Positions 3 + 1
Tip:
Food that has been frozen flat or in portions
defrosts more quickly than food items frozen in a block.
Remove frozen food from its packaging and place it
onto the wire rack in suitable cookware.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it
defrosts. Large pieces of food should be turned several
times.As the food defrosts, break up any clumps and
remove items that have already defrosted from the
appliance.
To allow the temperature to equalise, leave the
defrosted food to rest for another 10 to 30 minutes in
the appliance after switching it off.
