CHAPTER -4: FOOD STORAGE GUIDANCE
If you would freeze a small amount (up to 3 kg) in your freezer:
• Place your food without touching already frozen food and activate "Fast Freezing" mode. You can put your food
next to other frozen food after it is completely frozen (after minimum 24 hours).
• Do not re-freeze frozen food after it has thawed. This may cause health issues, such as food poisoning.
• Allow hot food to completely cool down before placing it in the freezer.
• When buying frozen food ensure that these have been frozen at suitable temperatures and that the packing
is intact.
NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This
is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.
Important note:
• Never refreeze thawed frozen food.
• The taste of some spices found in cooked dishes (anise, basilica, watercress, vinegar, assorted spices, ginger,
garlic, onion, mustard, thyme, marjoram, black pepper, etc.) changes and they assume a strong taste when they
are stored for a long period of time. Therefore, add small amounts of spices to food to be frozen, or the desired
spice should be added after the food has thawed.
• The storage time of food is dependent on the type of oil used. Suitable oils are margarine, calf fat, olive oil and
butter. Unsuitable oils are peanut oil and pig fat.
• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.
The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer
compartment.
