Defrosting Tips
• Food that takes an exceptional amount of time to
defrost will not defrost well in a convection oven.
• You should not defrost anything that would normally
take over two hours to thaw. The food will begin to
spoil because the defrost temperature is not high
enough to cook the food.
• If you have a partially defrosted turkey, rib roast or
other large cut of meat, you may continue to defrost it
in your convection oven. If wing tips and legs begin to
dry out when you defrost poultry, you may wrap the
tips with aluminum foil.
• If you are defrosting a small cut of meat, lay it on a
at cookie sheet with a one inch rim to catch juices as
the meat thaws.
• Thick, frozen casseroles such as lasagna will not
defrost well in your oven. Instead, defrost accord-
ing to the food manufacturer’s suggestions. You can
defrost casseroles in a refrigerator overnight. You
should leave the food in its original container and
keep it covered.
• You can bake some foods from frozen. Some exam-
ples are: pizza, frozen pastries, croissants, cookies,
etc. Before baking frozen food, allow the oven to
preheat.
