Freezing and storing food

Maximum freezing capacity

To ensure that fresh food placed in the freezer freezes through to the core as quickly as possible, the maximum freezing capacity must not be exceeded. The maximum freezing capacity for freezing within a 24-hour period is listed on the data plate as “Freezing capacity ....kg/24 hrs”.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer compartment, check

–that the packaging is not damaged,

–the best-before date,

–the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the supermarket. The length of time the food can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18°C.

^Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it.

^Store it in the freezer section as soon as possible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible, because it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Do not refreeze defrosted food until after it has been cooked.

Freezing fresh food

Only freeze fresh food that is in good condition.

Tips for freezing fresh food

–The following types of food are suitable for freezing:

Fresh meat, poultry, game, fish, vegetables, herbs, fresh fruit, dairy products, pastry/dough, leftovers, egg yolks, egg whites and a range of pre-cooked meals.

–The following types of food are not suitable for freezing:

Grapes, lettuce, radishes, sour cream, mayonnaise, eggs in their shells, onions, whole raw apples and pears.

–To retain colour, taste and vitamin C, vegetables should be trimmed, washed, and blanched. To blanch: bring a large saucepan of water to the boil, then immerse the vegetables in rapidly boiling water for 2-3 minutes, depending on type. Then drain the vegetables, plunge them into ice cold water and drain thoroughly.

–Lean meat freezes better than fatty meat, and can be stored for considerably longer.

–To prevent chops, steaks, cutlets or rolled meat from freezing together in solid blocks when packed, separate with a sheet of plastic freezer film.
