Freezing and storing food
55
Defrosting
Frozen food can be thawed in various
ways:
– in the microwave,
– in a regular oven, using the “Fan” or
“Defrost” setting
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator section (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat or
fish can be placed directly into a hot
skillet.
Meat and poultry (e.g. hamburger,
chicken, fish) should not come into
contact with other foods while
defrosting. Catch the defrosting liquid
and dispose of it carefully.
Fruit can be thawed at room
temperature, either in the packaging or
in a covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.
Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Cooling drinks quickly
Risk of injury from broken glass!
Bottles and cans of drinks,
particularly carbonated drinks, can
burst when frozen.
Do not freeze any drinks in bottles or
cans.
Adjusting the interior fittings
Removing the drawers and glass
plates from the freezer
The drawers can be removed for filling,
emptying or cleaning purposes.
You can also use the space in the
freezer more flexibly. If you wish to
freeze large items such as a turkey or
game, the glass cold plates between
the drawers can be removed.
Pull out the drawers as far as they will
go, and then lift them up and out.
Lift the glass plate slightly, pull it
forwards and out.
