This standing time (see table) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully defrosted. Tips for defrosting , Do not cook with defrosting liquids. ­ When defrosting poultry, set the food on the rack and insert the drip tray beneath it. This prevents the food from lying in the defrosting liquid. ­ To defrost non dripping food, remove the wrapping and place it on the rack or in a container. ­ Fish does not need to be fully defrosted before cooking. Defrost it so that the surface is sufficiently thawed to take herbs and seasoning. Fish coated with breadcrumbs should be fully defrosted so that the coating sticks. ­ Turn, stir or separate food about halfway through the defrosting period. ­ Do not refreeze food once it has been defrosted. For ½ liter jars the times are shortened by 15 minutes, for ¼ liter jars the time shortens by 20 minutes. 27 Special uses Blanching The steam oven can also be used to blanch vegetables and fruit to prepare them for freezing ^ Put the prepared vegetables/fruit (cleaned, washed, chopped, etc. ) into a perforated container. ^ Place the container in the oven and insert the drip tray at the lowest level. ^ Once blanched, plunge the vegetables/fruit into ice water. You can then freeze them once they have dried thoroughly. Making Yogurt Ingredients: 3. 5 oz (100 g) yogurt (with live cultures) and 1 quart (1 l) of pasteurized or fresh whole milk. Yogurt and milk must have the same fat contents. ^ Heat (do not boil) fresh milk to 194°F (90°C), let it cool before mixing together with the yogurt. This is necessary to give the yogurt a firm texture. ^ Fill 6 yogurt jars with the mixture and cover with aluminum foil. ^ Select "Custom" and lower the default temperature to 104°F (40°C). ^ Let the yogurt cool and store in the refrigerator. Once the yogurt has cooled completely it will have a firm texture. 28 Special uses Disinfecting baby bottles The steam oven can be used to disinfect baby bottles and other containers.
