Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Flat pieces
of partially thawed meat or
fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Thicker pieces
of meat and fish (e.g.
minced beef, chicken, fish fillet) should
not come into contact with other food
when defrosting. Collect the defrosting
liquid and then pour it away, making
sure you wash the container it was in,
the sink and your hands.
Fruit
should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, 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 vegetables
due to changes in the cell structure.
Never refreeze partially or fully
defrosted 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 refrozen after it has been
cooked.
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, causing injury and
damage.
Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the
temperature in the freezer rising too
quickly in the event of a power cut, thus
extending the time for which food can
be stored without power to the
appliance.
^
Place the cool pack in the top drawer
of the freezer section.
The cool pack will be at its most
effective after it has been in the
freezer for approx. 24 hours.
In the event of a power cut:
^
Place the cool pack directly on top of
the frozen food in the front of the top
drawer so that the food will be kept
cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer,
use the cool pack to separate the fresh
food from the food which is already
frozen so that the frozen food does not
begin to thaw.
The cool pack can also be used in a
cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for
a short period of time.
