It is better to underestimate defrosting time if you are unsure. Food will continue to defrost during the standing time. joints, halfway through the defrosting time, or at pause. Remove any thawed food as soon as possible. Remove or open any packaging before defrosting. 6. Place food in a larger container than that which it was frozen in, this will allow for easy stirring. Begin thawing poultry, breast side down and turn over halfway through defrosting time or at pause. Delicate areas such as wing tips can be shielded with small pieces of smooth foil. Standing time is very important, particularly for large, dense foods which cannot be stirred to ensure that the centre is completely defrosted before cooking. Manual defrosting For manual defrosting (without using Auto Defrost features) use 150W. To speed up the defrosting of dense foods over 450g (1lb), the oven may be started on full power for 1­3 minutes, then be reduced to 150W until defrosting is complete. 20 EMS 2485 Automatic Cooking Programmes Progr.
