Defrosting
The steam function "Defrost" is suitable for defrosting
frozen fruit and vegetables. It is best to allow poultry,
meat and fish to defrost in the refrigerator. To defrost
the frozen food, remove it from its packaging. Place
frozen fruit and vegetables into the steaming pan with
the perforated base, and place the steaming pan with
the unperforated base underneath. This keeps the food
away from the water that forms as it defrosts, and
allows this water to be collected as it drips down. For
frozen food that needs to retain liquid when it is cooked,
e.g. creamed spinach, use the steaming pan with the
unperforated base or cookware placed on the wire
rack.
The times specified in the table are intended as a guide.
They are dependent on the quality, freezing temperature
(-18°C) and composition of the food.Time ranges are
specified. Set the shortest time initially, and then extend
the time if necessary.
Tip: Food that has been frozen in thinner pieces or in
portions defrosts more quickly than food items frozen in
a block.
Prove dough
When the Prove dough type of heating is used, dough
proves considerably more quickly than at room
temperature.
You may select any shelf position you wish for the wire
rack or place the wire rack carefully on the cooking
compartment floor.
Caution: Do not scratch the cooking compartment floor.
Place the dough bowl on the wire rack. Do not cover
the dough.
Extracting juice
Before juicing, place the berries in a bowl and sprinkle
with sugar. Leave to stand for at least one hour to draw
out the juice.
Pour the berries into the perforated steam container
and insert at level 3. Insert the solid steam container at
level 1to catch the juice.
Finally, place the berries in a cloth and squeeze out the
rest of the juice.
Preserving
Preserve food which is as fresh as possible. When
foods are stored for a relatively long period, their
vitamin content is reduced and they ferment and spoil
more easily.
Only use fruit and vegetables which are in perfect
condition.
The following foods cannot be preserved with your
appliance:
Contents of tins, meat, fish or pastry dough.
Check preserving jars, rubber rings, clips and springs.
Clean rubber rings and jars thoroughly with hot water.
The "Sterilise bottles" programme is also suitable for
cleaning jars.
Place the jars into the perforated steam container. They
must not touch each other.
After the specified cooking time, open the appliance
door.
Do not remove the preserving jars from the appliance
until they have completely cooled down.
