Reheating food
Using Reheat, dishes can be gently reheated. They taste and
look like they have been freshly prepared. Even baked items
from the day before can be recrisped.
Defrosting
When freezing, lay the food as flat as possible and in portion-
sized pieces at -18 °C. Do not freeze excessively large
quantities. Once defrosted, food will not keep for as long and
spoils more quickly than fresh food.
Leave the food to defrost in the freezer bag, on a plate or in the
perforated cooking container. Always insert the baking tray
underneath. The food is then not left lying in the defrost water
and the cooking compartment remains clean.
Use the Defrost operating mode.
If necessary, the food can occasionally be split apart or pieces
which have already defrosted can be removed from the
appliance.
After defrosting, allow the food to stand for a further 5 -
15 minutes to allow the temperatures to even out.
:
Health risk!
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove
the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come
into contact with other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
After defrosting, operate the combination steam oven for
15 minutes using Hot air at 180 °C.
Defrost meat
Allow pieces of meat which are to be breadcrumbed to defrost
to the point where seasoning and breadcrumbs adhere to the
meat.
Defrosting poultry
Remove from packaging before defrosting. You must tip the
defrost liquid away.
The cake is too dry
Make tiny holes in the finished cake using a cocktail stick. Then drizzle fruit juice or an
alcoholic drink over it. Next time, set the temperature 10 °C higher and shorten the bak-
ing times or use Hot air + Steam
The bread or cake looks good but it is
soggy inside (overmoist with wet
streaks)
Next time, use less liquid. Bake at a lower temperature for a little longer. For cakes with a
moist topping, bake the base first. Cover the base with almonds or breadcrumbs first
and then apply the topping. Observe the baking time in the recipe
The cake or pastry is unevenly browned Next time, set the temperature a little lower
