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 equals 1⁄4 pound [113.4 g]).

If the weight on the food package is in fractions of a pound, you can use the following chart to convert the weight to decimals.

Defrosting tips

• 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 packaging.

 

• 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 according 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 evenly.

 

• 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 damage the oven lining.

 

• For better results, let food stand after defrosting.

 

(For more information on standing time, see

 

“Microwave cooking tips”.)

 

• Turn food over during defrosting or standing time.
