Blast freezing

air-o-chill®/freezer

The air temperature inside the blast freezer reaches minus 35 °C and at the end of the cycle holds product at minus 22 °C.

Product can be blast frozen either in vacuum bags, suitable sturdy plastic containers that are no more than 40 mm deep and Gastronorm pans with a maximum depth of 40 mm.

For optimum results when blast freezing liquid based products it is better to first blast chill on hard cycle then place into suitable sized containers for blast freezing.

Once product is frozen, cover with a tight fitting lid or place in airtight container/vacuum bag to prevent dehydration in freezer.

Remember that when freezing product in vacuum sealed bags, be sure to press flat to increase surface area which speeds up the freezing process.

If freezing small items such as vegetables, prawn cutlets, meat balls etc place them on flat trays so they are not touching each other, once frozen they can then be placed loose into sealed bags as “free flow”.
