Freezing and storing food
Freezer tray
The freezer tray is useful for freezing small items such as berries and vegeta- bles. They can be frozen individually and therefore maintain their shape when defrosted.
^Space the food out loosely on the tray.
^Hang the tray in one of the upper freezer drawers.
Leave food for 10 - 12 hours to freeze thoroughly on the tray. Transfer it to a freezer bag or suitable container once frozen. Place the bag or container in the freezer drawer.
Cool pack
The cool pack prevents the tempera- ture in the freezer rising too quickly in the event of a power cut.
Place the cool pack in the upper drawer directly on top of food or to save space on the freezer tray. The cool pack will be at its most effective after it has been in the freezer for approx. 24 hours.
If there is a power cut place the cool pack directly on top of the frozen food in the upper drawer so that the food will be kept cold for as long as possible.
When placing fresh food in the freezer, use the cool pack to separate the fresh food from the food which is already frozen so that the frozen food does not begin to thaw.
The cool pack can also be used in a cool bag to keep food or drinks cool for a short period of time.
