Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in the microwave oven,
– in the oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the fridge.
– in a steam oven.
Fruit
should be defrosted at room
temperature 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
vegetables.
Poultry
It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away,
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands.
Never re-freeze 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 re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Ice cubes
^
Press down the release button on the
ice cube tray and fill the tray with wa-
ter. Any excess will flow out through
the outlet.
^
Pull the release button up to seal the
ice cube tray.

Slide the ice cube tray into position in
the freezer section as shown.
^
Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^
Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.
Cooling drinks
When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are
not left in the freezer for
more than one hour
, as they could
burst.
