• Food weight should be rounded up to the nearest 0.1kg, for example, 0.65kg to 0.7kg.
• You are restricted to cook/defrost a weight within the range given in the charts.
• To cook/defrost weights or foods not included in these charts, please refer to the charts in the

cookbook section.

• For converting to lbs/oz refer to the conversion chart page 30.

1.2kg - 1.8kg

NOTES FOR EXPRESS DEFROST:

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.
