‘TIPSONFREEZINGFOODS
There are three essential requirements for
efficient home freezing. First, of course, is
initial quality. Only top-quality foods
should be frozen. Freezing retains quality
and flavor; it cannot improve quality. Sec-
ond is speed. The quicker fruits and veg-
etables are frozen after picking, the better
the frozen product will be. You’ll save time,
two,because less culling and sorting will be
necessary. The third requirement is proper
packaging. Use food wraps designed espe-
cially for freezing; they’re readily available
in a wide selection at your favorite store.
-in FmEEz’EMEAT-,FISH,POULTRY
Wrap well in freezer-weight foil (or other
heavy-duty wrapping material), forming it
cat-efully to the shape of the contents. This
expels air. Fold and crimp ends of the pack-
~lgeto
provide a good, !asting seal. Don’t
refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
il)~~it,whether raw or cooked, can be frozen
successfully only once.

KX CREAM STORAGE
Fine-quality ice cream, with high cream
content, will normally require slightly low-
er temperatures than more “airy” already-
packed brands with low cream content. It
will be necessary to experiment to deter-
mine the exact temperature control setting
to keep your favorite ice cream at the right
serving temperature. Also, the rear of the
freezer is slightly colder than the front.
ADJUSTABLESHELVES
[Shelves not adjustable on models
CTF18A and CTF16C)
Most Hotpoint No-Frost Refrigerators fea-
ture adjustable shelves. This allows you to
vary the amount of space between shelves
and provides greater storage flexibility.
To adjust, remove shelf by tilting up at
front, then lifting up and out of the track
on the rear wall of the refrigerator a
illustrated in Fig. 10.

inal wrapping.
