Defrost
It is much quicker to defrost food in the
st
eam oven than at room temperature.
Temperature
60 °C is the best temperature for
defr
osting.
Exception: 50 °C for minced meat and
game
Before and after defrosting
Remove all packaging before
defr
osting.
Exceptions: Leave bread, biscuits and
cakes in their packaging as otherwise
they will absorb moisture and become
soft.
Allow defrosted food to stand at room
t
emperature after removing it from the
oven. The standing time is necessary to
allow the even distribution of heat.
Cooking containers
Danger of salmonella poisoning.
Do not use the liquid from defrosted
meat or poultry. Pour it away and
wash the container, the sink and
your hands.
Use a perforated container with a solid
conta
iner underneath it when defrosting
food which will drip, such as poultry.
This way food will not be lying in
defrosted liquid.
Food which does not drip can be
defr
osted in a solid container.
Tips
– Fish does not need to be fully
defr
osted before cooking. Defrost so
that the surface is sufficiently thawed
to take herbs and seasoning.
Depending on the thickness of the
fish, 2 - 5 minutes should be enough.
– When defrosting food which has
fr
ozen together, e.g. berries, chops,
fish fillets etc. separate it about half-
way through the defrosting time.
– Do not refreeze food once it has
thawed.
– Defrost frozen pre-cooked meals
acco
rding to the manufacturer's
instructions.
