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 about 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.

Rigid pofyethylene (plastic) containers with tight fitting lids, straight-sided cannin@freezing jars, heavy-duty aluminum foil, plasticcoated paper and nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from a saran film) are recommended. Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Packaging nrcommended for use:

. Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids l Straight-sided canningIfreezing jars

lHeavy-duty aluminum foil l Plastic-coated paper

lNonpermeable 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

. Containers without tigM lids

lWaxed paper

l Waxedcoated freezer wrap l Thin, semipermeable map

The use of these wrappings could 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 room at the front so the door can close tigktly.
