Defrosting; Ice Cubes; Cooling Drinks - Miele F 9052 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or "Defrost"
setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Poultry It is particularly important to
observe food hygiene rules when
defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid
from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container it was in, the sink
and your hands. Danger of salmonella
poisoning.
Fruit should be defrosted at room
temperature in its 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. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
lose its nutritional value and spoil if
left for too long. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Freezing and storing food

Ice cubes

^ Fill the ice tray three quarters full with
water, and place it on the bottom of
one of the drawers.
^ Once frozen, use a blunt instrument,
for example a spoon handle, to
remove the ice tray from the freezer.
^ Ice cubes can be removed easily
from the tray by twisting the tray
gently or by holding it under cold
running water for a short while.

Cooling drinks

When cooling drinks quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
