14 Defrosting
You can use your appliance to defrost frozen food
gently and more evenly than in the microwave.
14.1 Defrosting food
WARNING‒Risk of harm to health!
When defrosting food from animal sources, the trans-
mission of germs is possible.
▶ When defrosting food from animal sources, you
must remove the liquid that escapes during defrost-
ing.
▶ Ensure that the liquid that escapes during defrosting
never comes into contact with other foods.
1.
Remove the food from the packaging before de-
frosting.
2.
Only defrost the amount of food that you require im-
mediately.
3.
Turn the meat or fish after half of the defrosting time
has elapsed.
4.
Break up frozen clumps of food comprising many
pieces, e.g. berries and pieces of meat.
Notes
¡ The defrosting time depends on the size, weight and
shape of the frozen food. To reduce the defrosting
time, freeze food flat or in individual portions.
¡ In some cases, defrosted food may no longer be
kept for as long and it may spoil more quickly than
fresh food. Prepare defrosted food immediately and
cook it thoroughly.
¡ Fish does not need to be fully defrosted. It is suffi-
cient to defrost fish until the surface is soft enough
for seasoning/spices to stick.
