If possible, freeze and store food flat and in portions at
Ć18 ºC.
Put the frozen food on a flat dish, e.g. a glass or
porcelain plate.
After defrosting, allow the food to defrost for a further
10 to 30 minutes until it reaches room temperature.
Liquid will be produced when defrosting meat, poultry
or fish. Drain off this liquid when turning and under no
circumstances should it be used for other purposes or
be allowed to come into contact with other foods.
Place beef, lamb and pork on the dish fattyĆside down
first.
Bread should only be defrosted in the required
amounts, as it quickly becomes stale.
After turning, remove any minced meat that has
already defrosted.
Whole poultry should be placed in the dish
breastĆside down and poultry pieces skinĆside down.
Boiled potatoes: cut into pieces of a uniform size. Add
2 tablespoons of water per 100 g potatoes, and add
salt to taste.
Jacket potatoes: use potatoes of equal size. Wash the
potatoes and prick them all over. Place the wet
potatoes in a dish. Do not add water.
Rice foams a lot during cooking. Therefore, use a
highĆsided dish with a lid. Enter the uncooked weight
(without liquid).
Add two to two and a half times the amount of liquid
to the rice.
Do not use boilĆinĆtheĆbag rice.
Vegetables, fresh: cut into pieces of equal size. Add
two tablespoons of water for every 100 g vegetables.
Vegetables, deepĆfrozen: this program is only suitable
for blanched, not preĆcooked vegetables. The
program is not suitable for frozen vegetables in cream
sauce. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water per 100 g. Do
not add water to spinach or red cabbage.
Some dishes need some cooling down time in the
cooking compartment after the program has ended.
