Defrosting frozen food

Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– In a microwave oven
– In a regular 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 steamer
Flat pieces of partially thawed fish or
meat can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and fish (e.g. ground beef,
chicken, fish filet) should not come into
contact with other food during
defrosting. Collect the defrosting liquid
and dispose of it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging or in a
covered bowl.
Vegetables generally do not need to
be defrosted before cooking. Simply
place them in boiling water or braise in
hot fat. The cooking time is slightly less
than that for fresh vegetables due to the
altered cellular structure of frozen food.
Never refreeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be refrozen after it has been
cooked.
Freezing and storing food

Making ice cubes

^ Fill the ice cube tray three quarters
full with water and place it on the
bottom of one of the freezer drawers.
^ If the ice cube tray freezes to the
bottom of the drawer, use a dull
object (e.g. a spoon handle) to
loosen it.
^ Ice cubes can be easily removed
from the tray by briefly holding it
under running water.

Cooling drinks quickly

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