Freezing and storing food

Example

If you only require 2 freezer drawers for storing frozen food:

^Place food in the top 2 freezer drawers, leaving the other drawers empty.

^Take out the third drawer down and push the isolation plate in under the second drawer.

This "switches off" (isolates) the drawers below.

Storing frozen food

When buying frozen food to store in your freezer, check

–that the packaging is not damaged,

–the use-by date,

–the temperature at which the frozen food is being stored in the shop. The length of time it can be kept is reduced if it has been stored at a temperature warmer than -18 °C.

^Buy frozen food once you have finished the rest of your shopping, and wrap it in newspaper or use a cool bag or cool box to transport it.

^Store it in the freezer as soon as possible.

Never re-freeze partially or fully defrosted food. Consume defrosted food as soon as possible as it will lose its nutritional value and spoil if left for too long. Defrosted food may only be re-frozen after it has been cooked.
