Defrosting; Ice Cubes; Cooling Drinks - Miele FN 11827 S Operating And Installation Instructions

Defrosting

Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator (the cold given off
by the frozen food helps to keep the
other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Partially thawed thin pieces of meat or
fish can be be placed in a hot pan.
Pieces of meat and fish (e.g. mince,
chicken, fish fillet) should not come into
contact with other food when
defrosting. Collect the water from the
defrosted meat or fish and dispose of it
carefully.
Fruit can 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.
Do not refreeze defrosted or partially
defrosted food. Defrosted food may
only be refrozen after it has been
cooked.
Freezing and storing food
Making ice cubes
^ Fill the ice cube tray with water to ¾
full and place it in a freezer drawer.
^ Use a blunt instrument, e.g. a spoon
handle or plastic scraper, to prise it
apart carefully.
^ Ice cubes can be removed quickly if
briefly placed under running water.

Cooling drinks

Do not store cans or bottles containing
carbonated drinks or liquids which
could freeze in the freezer. The cans or
bottles could explode.
When cooling drinks (only
non-carbonated) quickly, make sure
bottles are not left in the freezer for
more than one hour, as they could
burst.
