Miele H 387-1 B KAT manual Defrosting, Do not refreeze food once it has thawed

^Turn the function selector to "Defrost G"

For defrosting meat and delicate food we recommend defrosting at room tem- perature, i.e. without selecting an oven temperature.

However, an oven temperature of up to 50°C can be selected.

–Where possible remove the packag- ing and put the food to be defrosted on a baking tray or into a dish.

–All meat and poultry should be fully defrosted before cooking. Do not use the liquids from defrosting.

–When defrosting poultry put it on the rack over the grill pan to catch the defrosted liquid, so that the meat is not lying in this liquid.

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

–Fish does not need to be fully de- frosted before cooking. Defrost so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning.

Do not refreeze food once it has thawed.

The time needed for defrosting de- pends on the type and weight of the food, and at what temperature it was deep frozen.
