How it works
en
35
Delicate parts such as the drumsticks and wings of
chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be
covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil
must not touch the walls of the appliance.
2.
Start the operation.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost-
ing time.
3. Note:
Liquid is produced when you defrost meat
and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
4.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it
defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
5.
To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted
food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10–
60 minutes.
You can remove the giblets from poultry at this
point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a
small section of it is still frozen in the centre.
