¡ Defrosting works best if you divide it into more than
one step. The steps are listed one after the other in
the recommended settings tables.
¡ Stir or turn the food 1-2 times during defrosting.
Turn large items several times. Split the food into
smaller pieces as it defrosts.
Remove pieces that have already defrosted from the
cooking compartment.
¡ Once the food has defrosted, switch off the appli-
ance and leave the food in the appliance for another
10 to 30 minutes to allow the temperature to equal-
ise.
Tip
¡ Place the cold duck breast
into a pan.
¡ Sear the skin side first.
¡ Cook the duck breast at low
temperature.
¡ After low-temperature cook-
ing, grill the duck breast for
3 to 5 minutes until crispy.
¡ Preheat the serving plate.
¡ Make sure that the accom-
panying sauces are very hot
when you serve them.
