For converting to Lb/oz see the conversion chart on page 25.
Weigh all meat and poultry prior to defrosting and cooking as the labelled weight is only approximate.
Defrost: If necessary, shield small areas of meat or poultry with flat pieces of aluminium foil. This will
prevent the areas from becoming warm during defrosting. Ensure the foil does not touch the oven
walls. Do not cook the meat or poultry until thoroughly defrosted.
NOTE: To defrost foods not included in the EXPRESS DEFROST chart (above), use Microwave Power levels
30P or 10P. Stir or turn food at least 2 - 3 times during defrosting. After defrosting, cover food or
wrap in aluminium foil and leave to stand until throroughly defrosted.
Refer to the defrosting chart in the cookbook section on Page 26.
DO NOT USE THE RACK FOR DEFROSTING.
