Whirlpool MWD 202 manual Defrosting Chart

DEFROSTING CHART

FROZEN FOOD IN PLASTIC BAGS, plastic films or card-

board packages can be placed directly in the oven as long as the package has no metal parts (e.g. metal twist ties).

THE SHAPE OF THE PACKAGE alters the defrost-

ing time. Shallow packets defrost more quickly than a deep block.

SEPARATE PIECES as they begin to defrost. Individual slices defrost more easily. SHIELD AREAS OF FOOD with small pieces of aluminiumfoil if they start to become warm (e.g. chicken legs and wing tips).

TURN LARGE JOINTS halfway through the defrost- ing process.

BOILED FOOD, STEWS AND MEAT SAUCES defrost better

if stirred during defrosting time.

WHEN DEFROSTING it is better to under- thaw the food slightly and allow the process to finish during standing time.

STANDING TIME AFTER DEFROSTING always im-

proves the result since the temperature will then be evenly distributed through-

out the food.
