FREEZING & STORING FROZEN

The freezer section is de&ed

for storage of com-

merclally

frozen foods and for freezlng foods at

home.

 

 

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 throughout the re- frigerator and drying of frozen food.

Rigid polyethylene (plastic] containers with tight-

fitting IIds, straight-sided canning /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 of 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 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 distance around the food. Bring the ends together and fold in (toward the food) at least twice to seal out air. Crease ends close to food, press air from package. Fold tips

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