Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer gives the length of time which
various foods can be stored effectively.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.
Marker system for frozen food
Markers serve as a reminder of how
long food has been stored.
Each freezer drawer has two slide
markers with dials. The months are rep-
resented on the dials as 1 – 12.
^
Clip the markers over the guides at
an angle of approx. 45º. Press down-
wards until they click into position.
Use the markers to indicate the type
of food being frozen and turn the di-
als to the appropriate number to indi-
cate the month the food was first
placed in the freezer.
Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in differ-
ent ways:
– in the microwave oven,
– in the oven at the "Fan" or "Defrost"
setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the fridge.
Fruit
should be defrosted at room tem-
perature in its packing or in a covered
bowl.
Most vegetables
can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh vege-ta-
bles.
Poultry
It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when de-
frosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Warning
Never re-freeze partially of fully de-
frosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
