Defrosting guidelines
Tips for defrosting
Check the defrosting several times, even if
you use the auto programs� Observe the
standing times�
Standing times
Individual portions of food may be cooked
almost immediately after defrosting� It is
normal for large portions of food to be frozen
in the centre� Before cooking, allow to stand
for a minimum of one hour During this
standing time, the temperature becomes
evenly distributed and the food is defrosted
by conduction� N�B� If the food is not going
to be cooked immediately, store it in the
refrigerator� Never refreeze defrosted food
without rst cooking it.
Joints and poultry
It is preferable to place the joints on an
upturned plate or plastic rack so that they
are not resting in the juices� It is essential
to protect delicate or projecting parts
of this food with small pieces of foil to
prevent these parts from cooking� It is not
dangerous to use small pieces of foil in
your oven, provided they do not come
into contact with the oven walls.
Minced meat or cubes of meat
and seafood
Since the outside of these foods quickly
defrosts, it is necessary to separate them,
break the blocks into pieces frequently while
defrosting and remove them when they
have defrosted�
Small portions of food
Chops and chicken pieces must be
separated as soon as possible so that they
defrost evenly throughout� Fatty parts and
the ends defrost more quickly� Place them
near the centre of the turntable or protect
them�
Bread
Loaves will require a standing time of 5
to 15 minutes to allow the centre to thaw�
Standing time can be shortened if slices are
separated and rolls and loaves cut in half�
Beep Sounds
Beeps will sound during the AutoDefrost
programs� The beeps are to remind you to
check, stir, separate the pieces, or shield
small parts� Failure to do this may result in
uneven defrosting�
