STORING FROZEN FOOD
NOTE: Check a freezer guide or a reliable cookbook for
further information about preparing food for freezing or
food storage times.
Freezing
Your freezer will not quick-freeze a large quantity of
food. Do not put more unfrozen food into the freezer
than will freeze within 24 hours (no more than 2 to 3 lbs.
of food per cubic foot of freezer space). Leave enough
space in the freezer for air to circulate around packages.
Be careful to leave enough room at the front so the door
can close tightly.
Storage times will vary according to the quality and
type of food, the type of packaging or wrap used (how
airtight and moisture-proof) and the storage temperature.
Ice crystals inside a sealed package are normal. This
simply means that moisture in the food and air inside the
package have condensed, creating ice crystals.
NOTE: Allow hot foods to cool at room temperature for
30 minutes, then package and freeze. Cooling hot foods
before freezing saves energy.
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct packaging.
When you close and seal the package, it must not allow
air or moisture in or out. If it does, you could have food
odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator and
could also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
v Rigid plastic containers with tight-otting lids
v Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
v Heavy-duty aluminum foil
v Plastic-coated paper
v Non-permeable plastic wraps
v Specioed freezer-grade self-sealing plastic bags
Follow package or container instructions for proper
freezing methods.
Do not use
v Bread wrappers
v Non-polyethylene plastic containers
v Containers without tight lids
v Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
v Thin, semi-permeable wrap
CAUTION: Do not keep beverage cans or plastic
food containers in the freezer compartment. They may
break or burst if they freeze.
