5.2.How to Freeze Fresh Foods
•
Foods to be frozen must be
divided into portions according
to a size to be consumed, and
frozen in separate packages. In
this way, all the food should be
prevented from being re-frozen
by thawing.
•
In order to protect the
nutritional value, the aroma and
the color of the foods as much
as possible, vegetables should
be boiled for a short period of
time before freezing. (Boiling
is not necessary for foods
such as cucumber, parsley.)
Cooking time of the vegetables
frozen in this way is shortened
by 1/3 than that of the fresh
vegetables.
•
To extend the storage times of
frozen foods, boiled vegetables
must first be filtered and then
hermetically packaged as in the
all types of foods.
•
Foods should not be placed
in the freezer compartment
without package.
•
The packaging material of the
food to be stored should be
air-tight, thick and durable and
should not deform with cold and
humidity. Otherwise, the food
that is hardened by freezing
might pierce the package.
Sealing the package well is also
important in terms of securely
storing the food.

The following packaging types are
suitable for use to freeze the food:
Polyethylene bag, aluminum foil,
plastic foil, vacuum bags and cold-
resistant storage containers with
caps.
The use of the following types of
packaging is not recommended to
freeze the food;
Packaging paper, parchment
paper, cellophane (gelatin paper),
garbage bag, used bags and
shopping bags.
•
Hot foods should not be placed
in the freezer compartment
without cooling.
•
When placing unfrozen
fresh foods in the freezer
compartment, please note that
it does not contact with frozen
foods. Cool-pack (PCM) can be
placed to the rack immediately
below the quick freezer rack
for preventing them from being
getting warm.
•
During the freezing time (24
hours) do not place other food to
the freezer.
•
Place your foods to the freezing
shelves or racks by spreading
them so that they will not be
cramped (it is recommended
that the packaging does not
come into contact with each
other).
•
Frozen foods must be
immediately consumed in
a short period of time after
defrosting and must never be
frozen again.
•
Do not block the ventilation
holes by putting your frozen
foods in front of the ventilation
holes located on the back
surface.
