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 storage times,

contact your local Cooperative

Extension

Service or check a freezer guide or cook-

book.

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:

Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting

lids

Straight-sided

canning/freezing

jars

Heavy-duty aluminum foil

Plastic-coated

paper

Non-permeable

plastic wraps (made from a

Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions

for

proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

Bread wrappers

Non-polyethylene

plastic containers

Containers without tight lids

Waxed paper

Waxed-coated

freezer wrap

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 of freezer space [2 to 3 Ibs. of

food 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 packing or wrap

used (air and moisture proof) and the storage

temperature (which should be -17.8% [O"F]).
