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 process. This compensation time (see table) is necessary to ensure that the food is fully 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. 33 Meal planning With some planning, an entire meal can be cooked in the steam oven. ^ Place cooking containers on different levels or side by side on the rack. Since different foods cook differently, they must be inserted at different times. Example: Rice 20 minutes Fish 6 minutes Broccoli 4 minutes ^ Insert the food with the longest cooking time (rice) first. ^ Set the difference in time until inserting the next food, here 14 minutes, and confirm. ^ Once the 14 minutes are up, insert the second food (fish) in the oven. ^ Set the difference in time until the third food, here 2 minutes, and confirm. ^ Once the 2 minutes are up, insert the third food (broccoli) in the oven. ^ Set the difference in time until the fourth food needs to be inserted or the meal is complete, here 4 minutes, and confirm.
