Freezing and storing food

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

Freezer calendar

The freezer calendar on the freezer drawer lists the maximum recommended storage times for various types of fresh-frozen food.

However, for packaged foods, you should follow the best-before recommendatons listed on the wrapper.

Marker system for frozen food

Markers help remind you how long food has been stored.

Each freezer drawer has two slide markers with dials. The months from 1 to 12 are marked on the dials.

^From the edge of each drawer, slide the markers onto the guide runners.

Use the markers to indicate the type of food being frozen, and turn the dial to

indicate the month the food was first placed in the freezer.

Defrosting frozen foods

Frozen food can be defrosted in different ways:

–in a microwave,

–in a regular oven, using the "fan" or "defrost" setting,

–at room temperature,

–in the refrigerator (as it thaws, the frozen food will help cool the other food in the refrigerator),

–in a Miele Steam Oven.

Flat pieces of partially thawed meat or fish can be placed directly into a hot pan.

Fruit can be thawed at room temperature, either in the packaging or in a covered bowl.

Most vegetables can be cooked while still frozen. You can place them directly in simmering water or hot oil. Because of changes to the cell structure, the cooking time is slightly shorter than for fresh vegetables.

Never re-freeze partially or completely defrosted food. However, once defrosted food has been thoroughly cooked, you may freeze it again.
