The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food be checked before cooking begins. Pay particular attention to large joints of meat and chicken, some foods should not be completely thawed before cooking. For example fish cooks so quickly that it is sometimes better to begin cooking while still slightly frozen. This will require a standing time to allow the centre to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost frozen poultry.

During defrosting your oven will “BEEP”, at which point you should open the oven door, turn food over and separate it to ensure even thawing.

Your oven will not stop defrosting (even when the beep sounds) unless the door is opened.
