Storing, freezing and thawing ood

Introduction

Wrap food so that no water, moisture or condensate can enter; this will prevent odours or aromas going from one part to another in the refrigerator, ensuring better preservation of frozen foods. Use plastic containers with hermetic lids, aluminium trays,

aluminium foil, plastic film and waterproof plastic NOTE:wraps. Never place hot food in the freezer. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes, then

wrap and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs the life of the appliance.

Sealing

When sealing food in bags, remove the air (liquids need space to expand). Fasten the top of the bag with a string. Put the label inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive labels for applying on the outside of opaque bags.
