Using Microwave Mode (Continued)
REHEATING LIQUIDS
Always allow a standing time of at least 20 seconds after the oven has been switched off to
allow the temperature to even out. Stir during heating, if necessary, and ALWAYS stir after
heating. To prevent eruptive boiling and possible scalding, you should put a spoon or glass
stick into the beverages and stir before, during and after heating.
REHEATING BABY FOOD
Baby Food
Empty into a deep ceramic plate. Cover with plastic lid. Stir well after reheating! Let stand for
2-3 minutes before serving. Stir again and check the temperature. Recommended serving
temperature: between 30–40°C.
Baby Milk
Pour milk into a sterilised glass bottle. Reheat uncovered. Never heat a baby’s bottle with teat
on, as the bottle may explode if overheated. Shake well before standing time and again before
serving ! Always carefully check the temperature of baby milk or food before giving it to the
baby. Recommended serving temperature: ca. 37°C.
DEFROSTING
Microwaves are an excellent way of defrosting frozen food. Microwaves gently defrost frozen
food in a short period of time. This can be of great advantage, if unexpected guests suddenly
show up.
Frozen poultry must be thoroughly thawed before cooking. Remove any metal ties and take it
out of any wrapping to allow thawed liquid to drain away.
Put the frozen food on a dish without cover. Turn over half way, drain off any liquid and remove
any giblets as soon as possible.
Check the food occasionally to make sure that it does not feel warm.
If smaller and thinner parts of the frozen food start to warm up, they can be shield by wrapping
very small strips of aluminium foil around them during defrosting.
Should poultry start to warm up on the outer surface, stop thawing and allow it to stand for 20
minutes before continuing.
Leave the sh, meat and poultry to stand in order to complete defrosting. The standing time
for complete defrosting will vary depending on the quantity defrosted. Please refer to the table
below.
Hint
Flat food defrosts better than thick and smaller quantities need less time than
bigger ones. Remember this hint while freezing and defrosting food.
For defrosting of frozen food with a temperature of about -18 to - 20 °C, use the following table
as a guide.
All frozen food should be defrosted using defrosting power level (180 W). Use the ceramic
tray, shelf level 1.
