Packaging

-The

secret

of successful

freezing

is

in the

packaging.

The wrap you

use

must

be

air,

moisture 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 through-

out the

refrigerator

and

drying

of

frozen food.

Rigid

polyethylene

(plastic]

containers

with tight

fitting

lids,

straight-sided

 

canning/freezing

jars,

heavy-duty

aluminum

foil,

plastic-coated

paper

and nonpermeable

plastic

wraps

(made

from a

Saran

film)

are

recommended.
