13.2 Tips for defrosting and heating
Follow these tips for good results when defrosting and
heating.
Issue
The food should be de-
frosted, 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 de-
frosted on the outside
only but still frozen in the
middle.
The food should not be
too dry.
13.3 Defrosting
With your appliance you can defrost frozen food.
Defrosting food
Place the frozen food in an open container on the
1.
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 compart-
ment.
Start the operation.
2.
You can remove the foil halfway through the defrost-
ing time.
Note: Liquid is produced when you defrost meat
3.
and poultry.
Drain off any liquid when turning and under no cir-
cumstances use it for other purposes or allow it to
come into contact with other foods.
Tip
Set a longer cooking
time. Larger quantities
and food which is piled
high require longer times.
¡ Stir the food occasion-
ally.
¡ 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.
