Freezing and storing food

Before placing food in the freezer

^When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer (see "Super freeze").

Placing food in the freezer

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.

^Place fresh food against the sides of the appliance where it is coldest.

^Place smaller quantities of fresh food (up to 2 kg) into the section which you have already created with the freezer tray (see "Interior - separate freezing section").

^Arrange frozen food in an organised way in the freezer.

^Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

Do not stack food higher than the top of the basket.

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 other food cold),

–in a steam oven.

Poultry It is particularly important to observe food hygiene rules when defrosting poultry. Do not use the liquid from defrosted poultry. Pour it away and wash the container it was in, the sink and your hands. Danger of salmonella poisoning.

Fruit should 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.

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
