Freezing and storing food

Do not season fresh foods or blanched vegetables before freezing. Only season cooked food lightly before freezing, but care should be taken as the taste of some spices alters when frozen.

Do not place hot food or drinks in the freezer. This causes already frozen food to thaw and increases the energy consumption considerably. Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in the freezer.

Packing

^Freeze food in portions.

Unsuitable packing material

-wrapping paper

-grease-proof paper

-cellophane

-bin bags

-plastic carrier bags

Suitable packing material

-plastic freezer film

-freezer bags

-aluminium foil

-freezer containers

^Expel as much air as possible from bags etc. before sealing them, to prevent freezer-burn on food.

^Close the packaging tightly with

-rubber bands

-plastic clips

-string or bag ties

-freezer tape.

Freezer bags may also be sealed using home heat-sealing kits.

^Make a note of the contents and the date of freezing on the packaging.

Before placing food in the freezer

^When freezing more than 2 kg of fresh food, switch on the Super freeze function for some time before placing the food in the freezer section (see "Super freeze").

Placing food in the freezer

Fresh food can be placed in any drawer for freezing, however it is preferable to use the upper drawers. Large quantities can be placed directly on the plate between the 2nd and 3rd freezer drawers as food will freeze very quickly here. To do this first take out the 2nd drawer.

Each drawer and the plate can be loaded with a maximum of 25 kg.

^Place the food flat in the bottom of the drawers or on the plate between the 2nd and 3rd drawers so that it freezes through to the core as quickly as possible.

^Make sure that the packaging and containers are dry to prevent them sticking together when frozen.

When freezing, make sure that food already frozen does not come into contact with fresh food being frozen as this could cause the frozen food to begin to defrost.
