Program Weight Range Suitable Foods

2 Meat Items 150g - 1000g Chicken portions, chops, mince.
3 Meat Joints 400g - 2000g Whole chicken, meat joints.
1. 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 halfway during defrosting.
THIS PROGRAM IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CREAM CAKES OR DESSERTS e.g. cheesecake.
Standing time 10-15 mins.
2. Meat Items (mince/chops/chicken portions)
NOT SUITABLE FOR SAUSAGES, these can be defrosted manually. Please refer to Defrosting
Charts on page 25. 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 15-30 mins.
3. 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 hour
should be allowed for joints after defrosting.
