Defrosting and Cooking – Main oven
Defrosting and cooking using the Circotherm
Important heating system information:
❑ For defrosting and cooking of frozen
foods, use circotherm.
❑ With all frozen foods, follow the food
manufacturers instructions on the
package.
❑ As a rule, defrosted frozen foods
(especially meats) require less cooking
time than fresh products, since freezing
has a pre-cooking effect.
❑ If frozen meat is placed in the oven, the
defrosting time must be added to the
required cooking time.
❑ Always defrost frozen poultry before
cooking because the giblets must be
removed.
❑ For cooking frozen fish, use the same
temperatures as for fresh fish.
❑ Frozen ready-to-eat meals in
aluminium dishes may be placed into
the oven several at a time.
❑ Frozen vegetables (i.e., when cooking
complete meals) should be cooked in a
covered pot together with the roast. Use
only approximately half of the liquid
specified in the recipe. Use fat only for
adding flavour.
Gentle defrosting:
k
Recommended for delicate pastries only
(i.e., whipped-cream gateaus).
❑ Turn the Circotherm selector switch to
the
k
position. Dependent on size and
type of the baked goods, defrost 25 –
45 minutes, take out of the oven and
allow to stand 30 – 45 minutes.
❑ With smaller amounts (pastries), the
defrosting time is reduced to 15 – 20
minutes and the subsequent standing
time to 10 – 15 minutes.
Standard defrosting of various foods:
Shelf-in levels: 3
❑ All stated times are approximate
guidelines that vary with the shape and
volume of frozen products.
❑ Raw frozen products or foods from a
freezer always defrost at 50° C.
Higher defrosting temperatures may
cause the food to dry out.
❑ Defrost frozen meals packed in
aluminium foil or closed aluminium
containers at a setting of 130 – 140° C.
❑ Place frozen meals packed in plastic
bags or plastic containers in a pot
filled with water. Cover the pot and
defrost of 130 – 140° C.
Attention: Pot handles must be oven-
proof.
❑ Defrost and warm up frozen baked
goods at 100 – 140° C. Brush bread,
rolls or yeast pastry lightly with egg to
make the crust more appealing.
❑ Defrost dry frozen yeast cakes at
160 – 170° C for 20 – 30 minutes.
❑ Defrost moist frozen yeast cakes (with
fruit topping) at 160 – 170° C for
30 – 50 minutes after wrapping in
aluminium foil to prevent cake from
drying out.
❑ Defrost and toast frozen toast (with
topping) at 160 – 170° C for about
20 minutes.
❑ Defrost and bake frozen pizzas at 180 –
190 °C for 15 – 25 minutes.
Place on wire grill covered with
greaseproof paper.
Please ensure that the greaseproof
paper is suitable for use at these
temperatures.
