TIPS

Tips for freezing fresh foods

To help you get the best out of the freezing process,

here are a few hints:

Freeze only good-quality, fresh and well-cleaned

foods. Split them into small portions to speed up

freezing and avoid having to thaw more food than

you require. It is in fact important to remember that

once the foods have thawed out, they deteriorate

fast.

Another point to remember is that lean foods keep

better and longer than fatty foods. Salt too reduces

storage times.

Wrap the foods in foil or polythene ﬁlm, ensuring

that the wrapping adheres closely to the food and

is well sealed. In this way, by avoiding contact with

air, the colour ﬂavour and nutritional value of the

foods remain intact.

During the freezing process, do not add further

foods for freezing and do not open the freezer

door.

The foods for freezing should not be placed in

contact with already frozen foods, but put in the

special freezing compartment. This will stop the

temperature of already frozen foods from rising.

Never put ﬁzzy drinks in the freezer as they might

well burst.

In addition, never put hot foods or liquids in the

freezer compartment and take care not to ﬁll

recipients up to the brim if they are covered with a

lid.

It is a good idea to mark the packs with the date

on which freezing started so that you can keep a

check on storage periods.

Tips for storage of commercially

frozen food

To get the best out of your freezer, in the case of

storage of commercially frozen food you should

ensure that:

the products have been correctly stored by the

retailer;

that there is only a very short time between when

you purchase the products and when you put them

in the freezer;

you do not store products for longer than the time

speciﬁed by the food manufacturer;

Avoid opening the door too frequently and when

you do open it, leave it open only for as long as is

strictly necessary;

A word of warning about ice lollies: they should not

be eaten straight out of the freezer as this might

cause cold burns.
