1. Meat items (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 dish. Standing time
20-30 mins. Not suitable for sausages
, these can be defrosted manually. Please
refer to defrosting chart on pages 31-32.
2. Meat joints/Whole chickens
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.
