FREEZING & STORING FROZEN FOODS

The freezer sectron is designed for storage of corn- mercrally frozen foods and for freezing foods at home

Packaging - The secret of successful freezrng ISIn

the packaging The wrap you use must be air, morsture and vapor proof. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air, moisture or vapor In or out. Packaging done in any other way could cause food odor and taste transfer throughout the re- frigerator and drying of frozen food

Rigid polyethylene (plastic] containers with trght-

fitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing jars, heavy-duty alumrnum foil, plastic-coated paper and

non-permeable plastrc wraps (such as Saran) are recommended. Note: Heat-sealed boiling bags are easy to use and can be used by themselves or as carton liners.

Sealing - When sealing foods In bags squeeze out the air (liquids need headspace to allow for expansron.) Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten tie securely around the doubled-over tail Put the label inside transparent bags, use self-adhesive label on outside of opaque ones.

Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap Cut the sheet about one-third longer than the drstance around the food Bring the ends together and fold in (toward the focxd) at least twice to seal out arr Crease ends close to food, press air from package Fold trps

over twice. Frnlsh package and tape closed NOTE. With unboned meats, pad sharp edges with extra wrap or use stockinette to protect the wrap from punctures

DO NOT USE:

l Bread wrappers

l Non-polyethylene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids

l Waxed paper

0 Waxed-coated freezer wrap

l Thin, semi-permeable wrap

None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor proof. The use of these wrapplngs could cause food odor and taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Freezing Fruits - Select ripe, blemish-free fruits Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to 3 quarts (liters] at a time and drain Fruit that stands In water may lose food value and become, soggy Sort, peel, trim, prt and s/Ice as needed.

Pack in rigid wide-mouthed containers or other

recommended material Leave head space to al- low llqurds to expand during freezing
