FREEZING
Only use fresh food of the best quality.
Cool hot dishes to room temperature as
quickly as possible before placing them in
the freezer. Wrap food carefully in freezer
foil, or use the special freezer boxes or
bags which are on the market. Divide food
into small portions before freezing - this
ensures that freezing is more rapid, and
means that you only need to defrost the
amount needed for immediate
consumption. Remember that defrosted
food must not be re-frozen. However,
dishes which have been cooked using
defrosted fresh food may be frozen. Mark
the freezer packaging with the date of
freezing. We recommend keeping a
record of the contents of your freezer. If
freezing is too slow, the quality of the food
being frozen deteriorates. Consequently,
do not freeze larger amounts than stated
in the freezerīs data plate. If you wish to
freeze food several days in a row, the
maximum freezing capacity stated per day
is reduced by about one-third. As far as
possible, keep the lid closed during
freezing. If you know nothing about home
freezing, we recommend that you
purchase a book containing advice and
guidelines.
DEFROSTING
In general food should not be defrosted at
room temperature, since this increases
the risk of bacteria growth. It is best to
defrost large portions of meat or poultry in
the refrigerator, and this also applies to
food which is to be consumed as it is (e.g.
fruit, butter and sliced meat). Small
portions of food can be cooked straight
from the freezer. A good number of ready-
to-cook dishes can also be cooked
without defrosting. Always observe the
instructions on product packaging. Bread
tastes good when defrosted in a moderate
oven. Microwave ovens can be used for
the rapid defrosting of most frozen foods.
Observe the instructions for use of the
microwave oven concerned, especially
regarding foil dishes.
