Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost items in the steam oven than at
room temperature.
Temperature
60 °C is the best temperature for defrosting.
Exception:
50 °C for minced meat and game
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before defrosting.
Exceptions:
Leave bread, biscuits and cakes in their packaging as
otherwise they will absorb moisture and become soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room temperature after
removing it from the oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.
Cooking containers
Use a perforated container with the condensate tray
underneath it when defrosting food which will drip, such as
poultry. This way food will not be lying in defrosted liquid.
,
It is particularly important to observe food hygiene
rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from
defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container,
the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Food which does not drip can be defrosted in a solid
container.
