Defrosting guidelines
Arrange food in a single layer.
Turn or break up food as soon as possible.
Shield chickens and joints of meat.
For Best Results:
1. Place foods in a suitable container.
Meat joints and chickens should be
placed on an upturned saucer or on a
plastic rack if you have one.
2. Check food during defrosting, as foods
vary in their defrosting speed.
3. It is not necessary to cover the food.
4. Always turn or stir the food especially
when the oven “beeps’’. Shield if
necessary (see point 6).
5. Minced meat, chops and other small
items should be broken up or
separated as soon as possible and
placed in a single layer.
6. Shielding prevents food cooking. It
is essential when defrosting chickens
and joints of meat. The outside thaws
out rst, so protect wings/breast and
fat with smooth pieces of aluminium
foil secured with cocktail sticks.
7. Allow standing time so that the centre
of the food thaws out. (Minimum of
1 hour for joints of meat and whole
chickens).
