Defrosting using the automatic programmes
You can use the 4 defrosting programmes to defrost meat,
poultry and bread.
Notes
■
Preparing food
Use food that has been frozen at -18 °C and stored in
portion-sized quantities that are as thin as possible.
Take the food to be defrosted out of all packaging and weigh
it. You need to know the weight to set the programme.
■
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat or poultry.
Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry and under
no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
■
Ovenware
Place the food in a microwaveable shallow dish, e.g. a china
or glass plate, but do not cover.
■
Resting time
The defrosted food should be left to stand for an additional
10 to 30 minutes until it reaches an even temperature. Large
pieces of meat require a longer standing time than smaller
pieces. Flat pieces of meat and items made from minced
meat should be separated from each other before leaving to
stand.
After this time, you can continue to prepare the food, even
though thick pieces of meat may still be frozen in the middle.
The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
■
Signal
For some programmes, a signal sounds after a certain time.
Open the appliance door and separate the food out or turn
the meat or poultry. Close the door and press the Start
button.
Cooking with the automatic programmes
With the 3 cooking programmes, you can cook rice, potatoes
or vegetables.
Notes
■
Ovenware
The food must be cooked in microwaveable cookware with a
lid. For rice, you should use a large, deep dish.
■
Preparing food
Weigh out the food. You need to know the weight to set the
programme.
Rice:
Do not use boil-in-the-bag rice. Add the required amount of
water, as specified on the packaging. This is usually two or
three times the quantity of rice.
Potatoes:
For boiled potatoes, cut the fresh potatoes into small, even-
sized pieces. Add one tablespoon of water for each 100 g
boiled potatoes, and a little salt.
Fresh vegetables:
Weigh out the fresh, trimmed vegetables. Cut the vegetables
into small, even-sized pieces. Add a tbsp water for each
100 g vegetables.
