10 Rules
for Successful
Food Freezing
1. Freeze the best. Freeze only
top-
quality foods. Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality.
2. Keep work area clean.
3. Work quickly. The quicker fruits and
vegetables are frozen after picking,
the better the frozen product will be.
You’ll save time, too, because less
culling and sorting will be necessary.
4.
Choose
correct packaging materials.
Frozen foods will dry out if not prop-
erly wrapped or packaged. Both rigid
containers and flexible bags or wrap-
pers can be used. Make sure they are
especially designed for freezing.
5.
Follow reliable instructions for
freezing different types of food.
6.
Freeze foods in practical
meal-
sized packages.
7. Fill container properly. When placing
liquid
orseml-llquid
food in containers,
leave about
k“
at top (1
%“
for glass
containers) to allow for expansion dur-
ing freezing.
8. Freeze correct quantities. There is
an established maximum of food your
freezer is designed to freeze at one
time–approximately 3 pounds per
cubic foot of freezer capacity. In
normal position, your freezer’s con-
trol dial will maintain sufficiently low
temperatures in the freezer to freeze
recommended quantities of food.
If you have a large quantity of food
you wish to freeze, store part of it in
the fresh food compartment of your
refrigerator until the first quantity
is frozen.
9. Freeze foods quickly. Continually
rotate frozen foods to the front of the
freezer so the longest-frozen foods
are used first.
10. Store frozen foods immediately.
Commercially frozen food can be
stored any place in the freezer. These
foods should not be allowed to thaw
before being placed in the freezer.
