Defrost - Pelgrim MAG740RVS Mode D'emploi

OPERATING

Defrost

Tips
Cover the plates with special microwave film, a plate cover or another
plate placed upsidedown on the first:
• to obtain the most even reheating;
• to avoid the food drying out;
• to reduce the reheating time;
• to prevent food spatter in the oven.
The foods keep all their flavour due to the steaming effect.
Type of food
Homogeneous foods like mashed
potatoes, petits pois, celery, etc.
Heterogeneous foods like: cassoulet,
bourguignon, ravioli, etc.
Using your micro-wave oven to defrost frozen food saves you a lot of
time. To defrost food, use the 'AUTOMATIC DEFROST' function or the
'MICROWAVE' function set to power level 200 W.
What you need to know
• Small cuts of meat or fish can be cooked immediately after
defrosting. Larger pieces such as meat joints or whole fish will still
be slightly frozen after the defrost programme.
• We recommend that you let the food stand for a period of time at
least equal to the defrosting time to ensure an even temperature.
• Food covered with ice crystals will take longer to defrost. In this
case, you should increase the defrosting time.
Tips
• The defrost time depends on the type of appliance. It also depends
on the shape, size, starting temperature and quality of the food.
• In most cases, food must be removed from its packaging.
Remember to remove any metal staples from the packaging.
• Halfway through defrosting, the pieces of food should be turned
over, stirred and separated if they were frozen together.
• Defrost meat or fish by putting it on an upside-down saucer on top
of a plate to let the juices run. If they stay in contact with the food,
they will overheat.
• Never refreeze food before cooking it.
