Preparation for Freezing:

1.Heavy-duty plastic wraps and bags, and freezer wraps are suitable.

2.Freeze meat, poultry and fish in packages with only 1 or 2 layers of food. To aid in separating layers, place two pieces of wax paper between them.

3.Remove all air and seal securely.

4.Label package with type and cut of meat, date and weight.

5.Defrosting times given in the charts are for thoroughly frozen foods (i.e. at least 24 hours in freezer maintained at -18°C or lower).

Defrosting Technique:

1.Remove from wrapper and set on a roasting rack in a dish on Ceramic Tray.

2.On Turbo Defrost, the oven will beep during defrosting.

At the beep: Turn over all meat, poultry, fish and shellfish. Break apart stewing meat, chicken pieces and minced meat. Separate chops and hamburger patties. Remove defrosted minced meat, stewing meat, poultry pieces or prawns etc. Shield thin ends, fat bones of roasts or poultry legs and wings with foil.

3.After defrosting: Large roasts may still be icy in the centre. Allow to stand 15 to 30 minutes in refrigerator to completely defrost.
