Aluminium Defrosting Tray With Collection Tray

This defrosting tray with collection tray is designed for defrosting frozen food on the kitchen worktop. The top tray is made of aluminium and has a ribbed surface, which provides the food with a total contact area. Under the tray sits a tray that collects liquid from the defrosting process and helps keep the workspace more organised.

The product is available in two sizes, so you can choose based on the space and portions you typically work with. The small variant measures approximately 29.5 x 20.5 x 3 cm, while the large variant measures approximately 35.5 x 20.5 x 3 cm. Both variants consist of a flat defrosting tray and a corresponding collection tray. The rectangular shape allows for placing several smaller pieces next to each other if there is space on the chosen variant.

Key Benefits

• Aluminium tray developed for defrosting frozen food.
• Ribbed surface provides a clear and even placement of the food.
• Liquid is directed from the tray into the collection tray during defrosting.
• The collection tray limits liquid directly on the kitchen worktop.
• Can be used without electricity, batteries, or a separate control unit.
• Removable tray and tray make the parts easy to handle after use.
• Two sizes allow for selection based on portion and worktop space.

Defrosting On A Heat-Conductive Surface

Aluminium conducts heat effectively and helps transfer heat from the surroundings to the frozen food when it lies directly on the tray. The product is therefore designed as a simple tool for defrosting without electric heating. To achieve good contact, the food should lie as flat as possible on the ribbed surface.

The necessary time depends, among other things, on the type of food, thickness, starting temperature, and room temperature. A thin portion will normally have more contact with the tray than a thick or uneven piece. You may want to turn the food during the process if you wish for contact with the tray on both sides. The product does not provide a fixed defrosting time for all ingredients.

Collection Tray For Liquid

During defrosting, condensation and liquid can form around the food. The tray’s ribs direct the liquid towards the edge, after which it can flow down into the collection tray. This provides a more consolidated solution than placing the frozen food directly on the worktop. The tray can be removed from the tray so that the collected liquid can be disposed of after use.

Variants And Measurements

The width and height are the same on the two variants, while the length varies. The large version provides extra tray area for larger portions, and the small version requires less space on the kitchen worktop. Check the measurements before ordering to ensure the chosen size fits the expected use and storage space.

How To Use The Defrosting Tray

1. Place the tray on a flat and stable surface.
2. Lay the aluminium tray correctly on top of the tray.
3. Place the frozen food directly on the tray without packaging.
4. Allow the food to defrost, and turn it as needed.
5. Remove the food, and dispose of the liquid from the tray.
6. Clean and dry both parts thoroughly after use.

Cleaning And Safe Handling

Wash the tray and collection tray before first use and after each defrosting. Use a soft sponge or cloth, and avoid tools that can damage the surface. Keep liquid from raw meat, fish, or poultry separate from other foods and kitchen utensils. The defrosting tray does not change the usual requirements for safe handling, preparation, and storage of food.

Package Contents

The package contains 1 aluminium defrosting tray with corresponding collection tray in the chosen size. The combination provides a simple workstation for defrosting and collecting liquid on the kitchen worktop.
