STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for
further information about preparing food for freezing or
food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of food.
Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours, no more than 2 to 3 lbs. of
food per cubic foot ( 1 to 1,5 kg of food per each 30
liters ) of freezer space. Leave enough space in the
freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful
to leave enough room at the front so the door can
close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and type
of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how airtight
and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice
crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply
means that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
plastic containers with
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
eavy-duty aluminum foil
stic-coated paper
eable plastic wraps
freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
read wrappers
yethylene plastic containers
Containers without tight lids
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
semi-permeable wrap
CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic food
containers in the freezer compartment. They may break
or burst if they freeze.
