9.2 Defrosting with Microwaves
General instructions for defrosting
1. When defrosting, use only dishes that are appropriate for microwaves
(china, glass, suitable plastic).
2. The defrost function by weight and the tables refer to the defrosting of
raw food.
3. The defrosting time depends on the quantity and thickness of the food.
When freezing food keep the defrosting process in mind. Distribute the
food evenly in the container.
4. Distribute the food as best as possible inside the oven. The thickest
parts of fish or chicken drumsticks should be turned towards the outside.
You can protect the most delicate parts of food with pieces of aluminium
foil. Important: The aluminium foil must not come into contact with the
oven cavity interior as this can cause electrical arcing.
5. Thick portions of food should be turned several times.
6. Distribute the frozen food as evenly as possible since narrow and thin
portions defrost more quickly than the thicker and broader parts.
7. Fat-rich foods such as butter, cream cheese and cream should not be
completely defrosted. If they are kept at room temperature they will be
ready to be served in a few minutes. With ultra-frozen cream, if you find
small pieces of ice in it, you should mix these in before serving.
8. Place poultry on an upturned plate so that the meat juices can run off
more easily.
9. Bread should be wrapped in a napkin so that it does not become too
dry.
10. Turn the food whenever the oven lets out a beep and the DSP1
displays the word: .
11. Remove frozen food from its wrapping and do not forget to take off any
metal twist-tags. For containers that are used to keep frozen food in the
freezer and which can also be used for heating and cooking, all you need
to do is take off the lid. For all other cases you should put the food into
containers that are suitable for microwave use.
12. The liquid resulting from defrosting, principally that from poultry, should
be discarded. In no event should such liquids be allowed to come into
contact with other foods.
13. Do not forget that by using the defrosting function you need to allow for
standing time until the food is completely defrosted.
