The user of the Chinese social network also explained that when this button is activated, the oven turns on a fan, but does not apply heat, which is ideal for defrosting food.
By generating a “blow of wind”, the feature can also be used to help eliminate the bad smell that sometimes gets stuck inside the oven.
Although this function of ovens may seem obvious to some users, many people are not aware of it. In fact, most owners of electric ovens only use the equipment to heat or roast food.
Before finishing his tip video, @lauradebarra advises his followers to consult the oven manual before using the defrost function.
According to information brought by her, the settings of this button can change from brand to brand and from model to model.
She also warns of the importance of paying attention to safety when performing the procedure, especially when defrosting meat and other denser foods.
