EFROSTING TIPS
•
When using EZ-Choice DEFROST, you need to
enter the net weight (the weight of the food minus
the container). Enter the weight to the nearest
lb (45 g).
•
Only use EZ-Choice DEFROST for raw food.
EZ-Choice DEFROST gives best results when the
food to be thawed is completely frozen. If the
food is partially defrosted, always set a lower
food weight (for a shorter defrosting time) to
prevent cooking the food.
Weight conversion chart

pounds and ounces that are fractions of a pound
(for example 4 ounces equals
in order to enter food weight in EZ-Choice
