For converting to Lb/oz see the conversion chart on page 29.
Weigh all meat and poultry prior to defrosting and cooking, as the labelled weight is only approximate.

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.
