Procedure

 

Roast Beef, Pork

1.13 - 2.6 kg

Start with the food placed fat side down.

 

 

 

After each stage, turn the food over and

 

 

 

shield any warm portions with narrow strips of

 

 

 

aluminum foil.

 

Steaks, Chops,

0.23 - 1.36 kg

After each stage, rearrange the food. If there

 

 

 

shield them with narrow flat pieces of aluminum

 

 

 

foil. Remove any pieces of food that are

 

 

 

nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered, for 5-10

 

 

 

minutes.

 

Ground Meat

0.23 - 1.36 kg

After each stage, remove any pieces of food

 

 

 

that are nearly defrosted. Let stand, covered

 

 

 

with foil, for 5–10 minutes.

 

Whole Chicken

1.13 - 2.6 kg

Remove giblets before freezing poultry.

 

 

 

Start defrosting with the breast side down.

 

 

 

After the first stage, turn the chicken over and

 

 

 

shield any warm portions with narrow strips of

 

 

 

aluminum foil. After the second stage, again

 

 

 

shield any warm portions with narrow strips of

 

 

 

aluminum foil. Let stand, covered, for 30–60

 

 

 

minutes in the refrigerator.

 

Chicken Pieces

0.23 - 1.36 kg

After each stage, rearrange or remove any

 

 

 

pieces of food that are nearly defrosted. Let

 

 

 

stand for 10-20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

Check foods when the oven signals. After the final stage, small sections may still be icy; let them stand to continue thawing. Do not defrost until all ice crystals have thawed. Shielding roasts and steaks with small pieces of foil prevents the edges from cooking before the center of the food has defrosted.

Use narrow, flat, smooth strips of aluminum foil to cover the edges and thinner sections of the food.
