Defrosting frozen food
Frozen food can be thawed in various
ways:
– In a microwave oven
– In a regular oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting
– At room temperature
– In the refrigerator (the cold from the
thawing frozen food will help cool the
other food)
– In a steamer
Flat pieces
of partially thawed fish or
meat can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and fish
(e.g. ground beef,
chicken, fish filet) should not come into
contact with other food during
defrosting. Collect the defrosting liquid
and dispose of it carefully.
Fruit
can be thawed at room
temperature, either in the packaging or
in a covered bowl.
Vegetables
generally do not need to
be thawed before cooking. Simply
place them in boiling water or braise in
hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less
than that for fresh vegetables due to the
altered cellular structure of frozen food.
Never refreeze partially or fully
thawed food. Thawed food may only
be refrozen after it has been
cooked.
Making ice cubes
^
Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full with water and place it on the
bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
^
If the ice cube tray freezes to the
bottom of the drawer, use a dull
object (e.g. a spoon handle) to
loosen it.
^
Ice cubes can be easily removed
from the tray by briefly holding it
under running water.
Cooling drinks quickly
When cooling drinks quickly in the
freezer, make sure bottles are
not left
in for more than one hour
; otherwise
they could burst.
