Defrosting Frozen Goods; Cooling Drinks Quickly - Miele KF 2802 Vi Operating And Installation Instructions

Defrosting frozen goods

Never re-freeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be re-frozen after it has been
cooked.
Frozen goods can be defrosted in
different ways:
- In a microwave oven
- In an oven using "Fan heat" or the
"Defrost" setting
- At room temperature
- In the refrigerator zone (the cold given
off by the frozen food helps to keep
the other food cold)
- In a steam oven
Flat pieces of partially thawed meat or
fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Meat and poultry (e.g. mince, chicken,
fish fillets) should not come into contact
with other foods while defrosting. Catch
the liquid from defrosting and dispose of
it carefully.
Fruit should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetables can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.

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, causing injury and damage.
