Reheating food
Using Reheat, dishes can be gently reheated with steam. 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.
If necessary, the meal 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.
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
Dough proves considerably more quickly in the steam oven
than at room temperature.
Slide the perforated cooking container in at any shelf position.
Place the dough bowl in the perforated cooking container. Do
not cover the dough.
