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 preparing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

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 throughout the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Packaging recommended for use:

l Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids l Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

l Heavy-duty aluminum foil l Plastic-coated paper

l Non-permeable plastic wraps (made from a Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

D B not use:

l3read wrappers

. Ion-polyethylene plastic containers

. Containers without tight lids l Naxed paper

. Naxed-coated freezer wrap

. rhin, semi-permeable wrap

TI le use of these wrappings could cause food o( lor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Freezing

DI) not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any

la ‘ge quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food in o the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours. (ho more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic

fo It of freezer space.) Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave er ough room at the front so the door can close

tic htly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (a r and moisture proof) and the storage tempera- tu e (which should be 0°F [-17.8”C]).
