•The material and finish of the baking trays and dishes used will affect base browning. Enamelware, dark heavy or non stick utensils increase base browning. Shiny aluminium or polished steel trays reflect the heat away and give less base browning.
Hints and tips when defrosting
•Place the frozen food in a single layer where possible and turn it over half way through the defrosting process.
•The actual speed of defrosting is influenced by room temperature. On warm days defrosting will be faster than on cooler days.
•It is preferable to thaw fish, meat and poultry slowly in the fridge. However, this process can be accelerated by using the
defrost function. Small or thin fish fillets, frozen peeled prawns, cubed or minced meat, liver, thin chops, steaks etc., can be thawed in 1 - 2 hours.
•A 1kg/2.25lb oven ready chicken will be thawed in approximately 5 hours. Remove the giblets as soon as possible during the thawing process.
•Joints of meat up to 2kg/4.5lb 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.
