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).
Arrange food in a single layer.
Turn or break up food as soon as possible.
Shield chickens and joints of meat.
