DEFROST

The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food is checked before cooking

commences. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be completely

thawed before cooking. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still

slightly frozen. The BREAD programme is suitable for defrosting small items such as rolls or a small loaf. These will

require a standing time to allow the centre to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost 1.4Kg

of frozen poultry.

Press STOP/CLEAR.

Weigh the food that you are about to defrost. Be certain to remove any

metallic ties or wraps; then place the food in your oven and close the

oven door.

Press START.

During defrosting your oven will “BEEP”, at which point open the oven door, turn food over and separate to

ensure even thawing. Remove any portions that have thawed or shield them to help slow down thawing. After

checking close the oven door and press START to resume defrosting.

Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounds) unless the door is opened.

Enter the weight of the frozen food that you are about to defrost.

Press MORE fourteen times to enter “1.4Kg”.
