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. Stand 10-
15 mins.
Meat items (mince/chops/chicken portions)
It is necessary for mince to be broken up frequently during defrosting and this is best carried out in
a large shallow dish. THIS PROGRAM IS 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. Stand 15-30 mins.
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.
