The temperature and density of food varies, I would recommend that the food is checked before
cooking commences. 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. The BREAD programme is suitable
for defrosting small items such as rolls or a small loaf. These will require a standing time to
allow the center to thaw. In the following example I will show you how to defrost 1.4 Kg of
frozen poultry.
