Defrosting and cooking
Defrosting with circotherm
*
Important heating system
For defrosting and cooking of frozen or deep-
information
frozen foods, use only the circotherm heating
system.
With all deep-frozen foods, follow the food
processing company‘s instructions on the
package.
As a rule,
defrosted frozen or deep-frozen foods
(especially meats) require less cooking time than
fresh products, since freezing has a pre-cooking
effect.
If
frozen meat
is placed in the oven, the defrosting
time must be added to the required cooking time.
Always defrost
deep-frozen poultry
before cooking
because the giblets must be removed.
For cooking
deep-frozen fish
, use the same
temperatures as for fresh fish.
Deep-frozen ready-to-eat meals
in aluminium
dishes may be placed into the oven several at a
time.
