WARNING ‒ Risk of burns!
Heated food gives off heat. The cookware may become hot.
▶

16.2 Tips for defrosting and heating
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and heating.
Issue
The food should be defrosted, hot or cooked once the time has elapsed.
Once the time has elapsed, the food should not be overheated at the edge and cooked in the middle.
After defrosting, poultry or meat should not be defrosted on the outside only but still frozen in the middle.
The food should not be too dry.
Tip
Set a longer cooking time. Larger quantities and food which is piled high require longer times.
¡ Stir the food occasionally.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting and a longer cooking time.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting.
¡ If you are defrosting a large quantity, turn it several times.
¡ Set a lower microwave power setting.
¡ Set a shorter cooking time.
¡ Cover the food.
¡ Add more liquid.
16.3 Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food
1.
Place the frozen food in an open container on the turntable.
Delicate parts, such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts, can be covered with small pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the sides of the cooking compartment.
2.
Start the operation.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrosting time.
3. Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no circumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to come into contact with other foods.
4.
Redistribute the food or turn it once or twice as it defrosts.
Turn large pieces of food several times.
5.
To even out the temperature, leave the defrosted food to stand at room temperature for approx. 10–
20 minutes.
You can remove the giblets from poultry at this point. You can continue to cook the meat even if a small section of it is still frozen in the centre.
Defrosting with the microwave
Observe the recommended settings for using the microwave to defrost frozen food.
