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 prepar- ing food for freezing or food storage times, contact your local Cooperat’kre Extension Service or check a freezer guide or 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 couM cause food odor and taste transfer through- out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Packaging recommended for use:

lRigid pbstic containers with tight-fitting lids l Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

l Heavy-duty aluminum foil l Plasticcoated paper

lNon-permeable plastic wraps (made from a Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

lBread wrappers

l Non-polyethylene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids

lWaxed paper

l Waxedsoated freezer wrap l Thin, semi-permeable wrap

The use of these wrappings coukl cause food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Freezing

Do not expect your freezer to quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 pounds of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough rmrn at the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the qualii of the food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature, which should be 0°F (‘17.8%).
