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. ­ Defrost deep frozen, precooked meals according to the manufacturer's instructions. ­ Defrost baked items such as pastry or cakes in a closed freezer bag. 25 Cooking tips Reheating Function Reheat Food to be reheated Vegetables Cauliflower, Beans Turnips, Carrots Side dishes Potatoes (cut lengthwise) Dumplings Pasta, Rice Meat and poultry Roast in slices ½" (1. 5 cm) thick Chicken breast Meatballs Roulades, sliced Fish Fish fillets Fish roulade, halved Complete dish Chicken fricassee with rice Pork roast with potatoes and vegetables Spaghetti with tomato sauce Soups/Stews Stew Vegetable/Cream soups 4-5 2-3 3-5 3-4 2-3 2-3 2-3 3-5 3-5 3-5 3-5 3-4 2 2 Time in minutes The steam oven can be used to reheat dishes. ^ Place the food on a flat plate and cover it with a deeper plate or aluminum foil. ^ Select the time (see table).
