Storing
frozen
food
The freezer section is designed for storage
of commercially
frozen food and for freezing
food at home.
NOTE: For further information about prepar-
ing food for freezing or food storage times,
check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.
Packaging
The secret of successful freezing is in the
packaging. The way you close and seal the
package must not allow air or moisture in or
out. Packaging done in any other way could
cause food odor and taste transfer through-
out the refrigerator and drying of frozen
food.
Packaging
recommended
for use:
l
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
lids
l
Straight-sided
canning/freezing
jars
l
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
l
Plastic-coated
paper
l
Non-permeable
plastic wraps (made from
a Saran film)
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use:
l
Bread wrappers
l
Non-polyethylene
plastic containers
l
Containers without tight lids
l
Waxed paper
l
Waxed-coated
freezer wrap
l
Thin, semi-permeable
wrap
The use of these wrappings could cause
food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen
food.
Freezing
Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze
any large quantity of food. Put no more
unfrozen food into the freezer than will
freeze within 24 hours (no more than 32 to
48 grams of food per liter [2 to 3 Ibs. per
cubic foot] of freezer space). Leave enough
space 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 of the food, the type of packaging or
wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof)
and
the storage temperature, which should be
-17.8% (0°F).
