- The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-
running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system)
- Do not open the refrigerator door as much as possible so that even in hot summer food can
be safely and freshly kept for hours.
- If you have a power outage notice in advance：
- Please an hour in advance will be temperature control stalls transferred to a strong cold
position, so that the refrigerator fully frozen. (Note that this time do not store new food!) To
be restored after the timely supply of temperature control gear to the original location.
- You can also make some ice, with a watertight container, and put it in the upper part of the
freezer. So that it is necessary to extend the time for fresh food to be deposited.
Preparations for freezing
- Leave cooked food to cool completely.
- Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
- Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
- Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the
Freezer.
- Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags,
plastic containers, aluminum foil for acidic foods(such as citrus fruits). Do not use thin cling
film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
- Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump
which sucks excessive air out of the packaging.
- Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
- You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with
liquids, such as stew) in square blocks. This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a
polythene bag which is inside a square sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove it
from the container and seal the bag.
Tips for shopping for frozen foods
- When you are buying frozen food, look at the Storage Guidelines on
the packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for
the period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period
stated as “Best, Before”, found on the front of the packaging.
- Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where
you buy your frozen foods.
- Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
- Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the
supermarket.
- Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping, and on the journey
home as this will help to keep the food cooler.
- Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Special insulated bags can be
bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These keep frozen food cold for
longer.
- For some foods, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam cooked. Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
