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. See defrosting charts on page 23 for standing times.
2. Meat Items (mince/chops/chicken portions)
NOT SUITABLE FOR SAUSAGES, these can be defrosted manually using Defrost power and
time. 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. See defrosting charts on page 23 for standing
times.
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.
