Weight conversion chart

You are probably used to food weights as being in pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound (for example, 4 ounces (113.4 g) equals 14 pound). However, in order to enter food weight in DEFROST, you must specify pounds and tenths of a pound. If the weight on the food pack- age is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

Defrosting tips

When using DEFROST, the weight to be entered is the net weight in pounds and tenths of pounds (the weight of the food minus the container).

Before starting, make sure you have removed any of the metal twist-ties which often come with frozen food bags, and replace them with strings or elastic bands.

Open containers such as cartons before they are placed in the oven.

Always slit or pierce plastic pouches or pack- aging.

If food is foil wrapped, remove foil and place it in a suitable container.

Slit the skins, if any, of frozen food such as sausage.

Bend plastic pouches of food to ensure even defrosting.

Always underestimate defrosting time. If defrosted food is still icy in the center, return it to the microwave oven for more defrosting.

The length of defrosting time varies accord- ing to how solidly the food is frozen.

The shape of the package affects how quickly food will defrost. Shallow packages will defrost more quickly than a deep block.

As food begins to defrost, separate the pieces. Separated pieces defrost more easily.

Use small pieces of aluminum foil to shield parts of food such as chicken wings, leg tips, fish tails, or areas that start to get warm.

Make sure the foil does not touch the sides, top, or bottom of the oven. The foil can dam- age the oven lining.

For better results, let food stand after defrosting. (For more information on standing time, see “Microwave cooking tips” in the “Cooking Guide” section.)

Turn over food during defrosting or standing time. Break apart and remove food as required.
