applications
Information and recommended settings for special
cooking methods and other applications, e.g. slow
cooking or preserving.
Slow cooking
Cook prime cuts of meat slowly at a low temperature,
e.g. tender cuts of beef, veal, lamb or poultry.
Slow cooking poultry or meat
Note:
When using the slow cooking type of heating,
you cannot delay the start of the programme by setting
an end time.
Requirement:
The cooking compartment is cold.
1.
Use fresh, clean, hygienic meat without bones.
2.
Place the cookware onto the wire rack at level 1 in
the cooking compartment.
3.
Preheat the cooking compartment and cookware for
approx. 15 minutes.
4.
Sear the meat on all sides on the hob at a very high
heat.
5.
Immediately place the meat into the pre-warmed
cookware in the cooking compartment.
To ensure that the climate in the cooking compart-
ment remains constant, keep the cooking compart-
ment door closed during slow cooking.
6.
After slow cooking, remove the meat from the cook-
ing compartment.

Defrosting
You can defrost frozen food in your appliance.
Tips for defrosting food
¡
You can use the "microwave" mode to defrost
frozen fruit, vegetables, poultry, meat, fish or baked
goods.
¡
Remove frozen food from its packaging before you
defrost it.
¡
Use heat-resistant, microwave-safe cookware.
¡
The recommended settings are for freezer-temperat-
ure food (-18 °C).
¡
Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than
one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.
¡
Stir or turn the food 1-2 times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡
Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30 minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.
