e.g. on handles . Moisture going into
the holes can cause the cookware to
crack when it is heated.
Defrosting meat, poultry, fish:
• Put the frozen, unwrapped food on a
small upturned plate with a container
below it, or on a defrosting rack or
plastic sieve so that the defrosting
liquid can run off.
• Turn the food after half the defrosting
time. If possible, divide and then
remove the pieces that have started
to defrost.
Defrosting butter, portions of gateau,
quark:
• Do not fully defrost in the appliance,
but let them defrost completely at a
room temperature. This gives a more
even result. Remove all metal or
aluminium packaging or parts before
defrosting.
Defrosting fruit, vegetables:
• If fruit and vegetables should remain
raw, do not defrost them fully in the
appliance but let them defrost
completely at a room temperature.
• To cook fruit and vegetables without
defrosting them first, you can use a
higher microwave power.
Ready meals:
• Ready meals in metal packaging or
plastic trays with metal covers can
only be defrosted or heated in the
microwave if they are expressively
designated as suitable for use in the
microwave.
• You must follow the manufacturer's
instructions printed on the packaging
(e.g. remove the metal cover and
pierce the plastic film).
