Storage of food after Blast chilling

Remember to always cover food with a lid or plastic wrap to prevent drying and odour transfer to other products in chiller

Sauce based foods, curry pastes etc. can be measured into vacuum bags (after initial Blast chilling) then vacuum-sealed which will give a longer shelf life – up to 35 days – depending on product.

If you require a longer shelf life, vacuum packed sauces, stocks, pastas, casseroles etc. can be blast frozen (if you have a Blast Freezer). However if the food is packaged in such a way that the shape of bag is like a “flat pillow”, they can also be frozen if placed on wire grids (shelves) inside the air-o-chill®which is set on Hard Cycle.

Lay the flat bags directly onto the cold racks (shelves) without overlapping the bags, then let the air-o-chill®run for the complete Hard Cycle time duration. The product will be frozen at end of cycle.

Remember to remove them once cycle has ended and transfer to a freezer room or upright freezer; they can be held in baskets. Always label the bags with production date/product name/volume and expiry date for future reference.

Note to conform to most health requirements, the shelf life of products mentioned above needs to be validated by a qualified food technologist. This is due to ingredients used, method of preparation, handling and cooking methods.
