STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For further information about preparing food for

freezing or food storage times, check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook.

Packaging

Successful freezing depends on correct packaging. When you close and seal the package, it must not allow air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food odor

and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and also dry out frozen food.

Packaging recommendations:

•Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids

•Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

•Heavy-duty aluminum foil

•Plastic-coated paper

•Non-permeable plastic wraps

•Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

•Bread wrappers

•Non-polyethylene plastic containers

•Containers without tight lids

•Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap

•Thin, semi-permeable wrap

A CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic containers in the freezer compartment. They may be broken when they are frozen.

Freezing

Your freezer will not quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 Ibs of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages. Be careful to leave enough room at

the front so the door can close tightly.

Storage times will vary according to the quality and type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature. Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the package have condensed, creating ice crystals.

NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods before freezing saves energy.
