Commercially Frozen Foods

The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing commercially frozen foods are indicated on the packaging. For storing and using consider the manufacturer’s instructions. When shopping for foods, be careful to choose only adequately packed foods provided with complete data and stored in freezers where the temperature is not higher than -18°C. Do not buy packages of food covered with frost layer. This indicates that the package was thawed before at least once. Be careful that packages don’t start to thaw; as the temperature rises it reduces the quality of foods.

5.Fill the ice cube tray (two thirds of it) with cold water or with any liquid suitable for freezing and insert the tray into the low temperature compartment. Dry the bottom of the tray so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the low temperature compartment. The best method to get the ice cubes out of the tray is to hold the tray under cold tap water for a second and turn it around and slightly bend it.
