3.1 DEFROSTING
• Frozen food in plastic bags, plastic film or cardboard packets can be placed directly in the oven for defrosting as
provided the packet has no metal parts (e.g. metal ties or staples).
• Certain foods, such as vegetables and fish, do not require complete defrosting before being cooking.
• Boiled foods, stews and meat sauces defrost better and more quickly if they are stirred from time to time, turned
over and/or separated.
• Meat, fish and fruit lose a certain amount of liquid during defrosting. Defrost these foods in a bowl.
• It is important to observe the standing times immediately after defrosting, before cooking. The standing time (in
minutes) is the length of time for which the food must be left to stand to allow the heat to spread evenly through
out the food.

Turn the poultry over halfway through .
When the standing time is over, rinse
under warm water to remove any ice.
Frozen vegetables do not need to be
defrosted before cooking
Turn the fish over halfway through
defrosting
Remove the silver foil or any metal parts Do
not frost completely. Observe the standing
time.Cream should be removed from its

These guidelines are suitable for carrying out the Defrosting Test for mince according to IEC Regulation 705, Par. 18.3, (see par. 2). Turn the
block upside down halfway through the time set. The block which is to be defrosted should be placed directly on the turntable. Further infor-
mation, also regarding other Performance Tests according to IEC Regulation 705 is given in the table on page 2.
