appropriate sizes. Blanch or scald. Puck in recom- mended container and freeze.

Do not freeze lettuce, celery, carrot sticks, potatoes or fresh tomatoes. All will become limp or mushy Tomatoes will collapse when thawed.

wraps recommended under “Packaging:’

Freezing Cooked Food -Prepare cooked foods as you would for the table; shorten cooking time 10 to 15 minutes to allow for additional cooking dur- ing reheating. Omit seasonings and part of the liq- uid. Plan to add them at reheating time. Potatoes should also be added to soup and stew at heating time. Add crumb and cheese toppings at heating time.

Cool as rapidly US possible and freeze at once. Liquid or semi-liquid dishes may be frozen in rec-

ommended containers with head-spuce. Cas- seroles and other more solid foods may be frozen in the baking container. If you don’t want to leave your casserole dish in the freezer, line it with foil. Bake, cool, freeze, lift out the foil package, bug it and return to freezer.

Freezing Baked Goods-Wrap baked breads in

recommended material. Thaw in wrapping. Unbaked yeast breads can be frozen after the first rising. Punch down, wrap and freeze.
