Storing frozen food

The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home.

NOTE: For further information about prepar- ing food for freezing or food storage times, coritact your local Cooperative Extension Service or check a freezer guide or reliable cookbook.

Packaging

The secret of successful freezing is in the packaging. The way you close and seal the package must not allow air or moisture in or out. Packaging done in any other way coukl cause food odor and taste transfer through- out the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.

Packaging commended for use:

lRigid plastic containers with tight-fitting lids l Straight-sided canning/freezing jars

l Heavy-duty aluminum foil l Plastic-coated paper

lNon-permeable plastic wraps (made from a Saran film)

Follow package or container instructions for proper freezing methods.

Do not use:

lBread wrappers

lNon-polyethyl-ene plastic containers l Containers without tight lids

l Waxed paper

l Waxed-coated freezer wrap l Thin, semi-permeable wrap

The use of these wrappings could cause food odor, taste transfer and drying of frozen food.

Fmezing

Do r lot expect your freezer to quick-freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more unfrozen food into the freezer than will freexe within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 8 pcunds of food per cubic foot of freezer spac:e). Leave enough space for air to circr Ilate around packages. Be careful to leav13 enough room at the front so the door can close tightly.

StlDragetimes will vary according to the

qua1ity of the food, the type of packaging or wral I used (airtight and moisture-proof) and the :‘dorage temperature, which should be 0°F (-17.8%).
