Defrosting
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are
appropriate for microwaves (china, glass,
suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables
refer to the defrosting of raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity
and thickness of the food. When freezing
food keep the defrosting process in mind.
Distribute the food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside
the oven. The thickest parts of fish or
chicken drumsticks should be turned towards
the outside. You can protect the most
delicate parts of food with pieces of
aluminium foil.
Important: The aluminium
foil must not come into contact with the oven
cavity interior as this can cause electrical
arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned
several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as
possible since narrow and thin portions
defrost more quickly than the thicker and
broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese
and cream should not be completely
defrosted. If they are kept at room
temperature they will be ready to be served
in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if
you find small pieces of ice in it, you should
mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the
meat juices can run off more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that
it does not become too dry.
10. Turn the food at regular intervals.
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do
not forget to take off any metal twist-tags. For
containers that are used to keep frozen food
in the freezer and which can also be used for
heating and cooking, all you need to do is
take off the lid. For all other cases you should
put the food into containers that are suitable
for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally
that from poultry, should be discarded. In no
event should such liquids be allowed to come
into contact with other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting
function you need to allow for standing time
until the food is completely defrosted.
