For converting to Lb/oz see the conversion chart on page 19.
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.

NOTES:

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 20.

DO NOT USE THE RACK FOR DEFROSTING.
