Joints of meat up to 2kg/4½lb in weight can be
thawed using the defrost function.
All joints of meat and poultry must be thawed
thoroughly before cooking.
Always cook thoroughly immediately after
thawing.
DO NOT leave food at room temperature once
it is defrosted. Cook raw food immediately or
store cooked food in the fridge once it has
cooled.
Care must always be taken when handling
foods in the home. Always follow the basic
rules of food hygiene to prevent bacterial
growth and cross contamination when
defrosting, preparing, cooking, cooling and
freezing foods.
