Regenerating (reheating)
▯
The combi-steam oven creates the perfect
environment for reheating cooked food without
drying it out. The flavour and quality are virtually
indistinguishable from food that has been freshly
prepared.
▯
To use this function, select "Reheat" mode
d
.
▯
Do not cover the food. Do not use aluminium foil or
clingfilm.
▯
The figures listed are for portions for one person.
Larger quantities of food can also be warmed up in
the unperforated cooking insert; you will need to
cook the food for longer than the times specified in
the table.
Defrosting
▯
In the combi-steam oven, you defrost frozen food
gently and faster than in the refrigerator and more
evenly than in the microwave.
▯
To do this, use the
W
"Defrost" operating mode.
▯
With this operating mode, no preheating is
necessary.
▯
The defrosting times specified are intended as a
guide only. The defrosting time depends on the
size, weight and shape of the frozen food: Freeze
your food flat and in individual pieces. This will
reduce the defrosting time.
▯
Remove the food from the packaging before
defrosting.
▯
Only defrost the quantity that you need right away.
▯
Remember: Food that has been defrosted may not
keep for as long as fresh food and it will spoil more
quickly. Prepare defrosted food immediately and
cook it thoroughly.
▯
After half of the defrosting time, turn fish or meat or
separate pieces of frozen food, such as berries or
pieces of meat. Fish does not need to be fully
defrosted; it is sufficient to defrost it until the
surface is soft enough for seasoning/spices to
stick.
m
Warning – 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.
Slide the unperforated cooking insert under the food.
Pour away the liquid that collects in the dish or tray as
the meat and poultry defrosts. Then clean the sink and
rinse it with plenty of water. Clean the cooking insert in
hot soapy water or in the dishwasher.
After defrosting, operate the combi-steam oven for 15
minutes using hot air at 180 °C.
