Defrosting
Notes
■
Place the frozen food in an open container on the cooking
compartment floor.
■
Turn or stir the food once or twice during the defrosting time.
Large pieces of food should be turned several times.
■
Liquid will be produced when meat, poultry or fish is
defrosted. Drain off this liquid when turning meat and poultry
and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or
allow it to come into contact with other foods.
■
Leave defrosted items to stand at room temperature for a
further 10 to 30 minutes so that the temperature can even
out. The giblets can be removed from poultry at this point.
Defrosting, heating up or cooking frozen food
Notes
■
Take ready meals out of the packaging. They will heat up
more quickly and evenly in microwaveable ovenware. The
different components of the meal may not require the same
amount of time to heat up .
■
Food which lies flat will cook more quickly than food which is
piled high. You should therefore distribute the food so that it
is as flat as possible in the ovenware. Different foodstuffs
should not be placed in layers on top of one another.
■
Always cover the food. If you do not have a suitable cover for
your ovenware, use a plate or special microwave foil.
■
Stir or turn the food 2 or 3 times during cooking.
■
After heating, allow the food to stand for a further 2 to
5 minutes so that it can achieve an even temperature.
■
Always use an oven cloth or oven gloves when removing
plates from the oven.
■
This will help the food retain its own distinct taste, so it will
require less seasoning.
Note: Place the ovenware on the cooking compartment floor.
