Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:
•
The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the
rating plate.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be
added during this period.
•
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs.
•
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
•
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages
are airtight.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus
avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
•
Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food.
•
Ice cubes, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
•
It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you
to keep tab of the storage time.
