Freezing and storing food
10-12 months:
Beef, fruit, vegetables

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
other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Partially thawed thin pieces of meat or
fish can be be placed in a hot pan.
Fruit can 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.
Do not refreeze defrosted or partially
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be refrozen after it has been
cooked.

Making ice cubes

^ Fill the ice cube tray with water to ¾
full and place it in a freezer drawer.
^ Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
^ Ice cubes can be removed quickly if
briefly placed under running water.

Cooling drinks

To cool drinks quickly, place them in
the refrigerator section, and switch on
the SuperCool function. When cooling
drinks quickly, make sure bottles are
not left in the freezer for more than
one hour as they could burst.
