FREEZING & STORING FROZEN FOODS

The freezer section ISdesrgned for storage of com- merctally frozen foods and for freezrng foods at home

Packaging-The secret of successful freezing IS in 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 vapors in or out.

Rigid polyethylene [plastic] containers with trght-

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

non-permeable plastic 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 expansion ) Twist the top and turn It back. Fasten tie securely around the doubled-over tail Put the label tnsrde transparent bags, use self-adhesive label on outside of opaque ones.
