Tostoreice cream–Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream content, will normally require slightly lower temperatures than more “airy”already-packaged brands with low cream content.

@It will be necessary to experiment to determine the location in the freezer compartment and the tem- perature control setting to keep your favorite ice cream at the right serving temperature.

~Also, the rear of the freezer compartment is slightly colder than the front.

“[jf~~Q)n;ya@ziiMJ ftn-gds

There are three essential require- ments for efficient home freezing.

1. initialqualityFreeze. only top-quality foods. Freezing retains quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality.

2.Speed. The quicker fruits and vegetables are frozen after pick- ing, the better the frozen product will be. You’ll save time, too, because less culling and sorting wil I be necessary.

3.Proper packaging. Use food wraps designed especially for freezing; they’re readily available in a wide selection at your favor- ite store.

~ Place the oldest items up front so

they can be used up promptly.

~ Use the handy shelves on the door

for most frequently used saucesand

condiments.
