Defrosting

You can also use the oven for defrosting.

To defrost select Fan heat D with a maximum temperature of 50 °C.

For defrosting meat and delicate foods use the lowest possible temperature (30°C).

Please note the following

–Where possible remove the packaging and put the food to be defrosted on a baking tray or into a dish.

–All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. Do not use the liquids from defrosting.

–When defrosting poultry put it on the rack over the grill pan to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from the defrosted poultry. Pour it away, and wash the tray, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella!

–Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning.
