suitable for delicate frozen foods which are to be served cold e.g. cream lled gateaux,
cakes covered with icings or frostings, cheesecakes, biscuits, scones etc.
Defrosting time will vary greatly depending on the size and amount of food being
defrosted.
Ensure all meat and poultry has thoroughly defrosted before cooking.
