Reheating food
Using Reheat, dishes can be gently reheated. They taste and
look like they have been freshly prepared.
Defrosting
When freezing, lay the food as flat as possible and in portion-
sized pieces at -18 °C. Do not freeze excessively large
quantities. Once defrosted, food will not keep for as long and
spoils more quickly than fresh food.
Leave the food to defrost in the freezer bag, on a plate or on
the perforated cooking container. Always insert the solid
cooking container underneath. The food is then not left lying in
the defrost water and the cooking compartment remains clean.
Use the Defrost operating mode.
If necessary, the food can occasionally be split apart or pieces
which have already defrosted can be removed from the
appliance.
After defrosting, allow the food to stand for a further 5 -
15 minutes to come up to room temperature.
:
Health risk!
When defrosting food from animal sources, you must remove
the liquid that escapes during defrosting. It must never come
into contact with other food. Bacteria could be transferred.
After defrosting, operate the steam oven for 15 minutes at
100 °C using the Steam type of heating.
Defrost meat
Allow pieces of meat which are to be breadcrumbed to defrost
to the point where seasoning and breadcrumbs adhere to the
meat.
Defrosting poultry
Remove from packaging before defrosting. You must tip the
defrost liquid away.
Proving dough
With the Steam operating mode dough proves significantly
more quickly than at room temperature.
You may select any shelf position you wish for the perforated
cooking container.
Place the dough bowl in the perforated cooking container. Do
not cover the dough.
Juicing
Before juicing, place the berries in a bowl and sprinkle with
sugar. Leave to stand for at least one hour to draw out the
juice.
Add the berries to the perforated cooking container and insert
at level 3. Insert the solid cooking container at level 1 to catch
the juice.
Finally, place the berries in a cloth and squeeze out the rest of
the juice.
