Base of oven
To defrost rolls, buns, slices of bread
and loaves. Place on a plate. Select
program number 28. Enter the weight of
the bread. Start to defrost. Turn and
re-arrange at beeps.
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 45-46.
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.
Note
1. The shape and size of the food will determine the maximum weight
the oven can accommodate.
2. Allow standing time to ensure the food is completely defrosted.
3. If ‘HOT’ appears in the display window, the oven temperature is too
high from previous use and an auto program can not be set. Cooking
mode and time may still be set manually.
