Freezing of fresh food and
storage of frozen food
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.
Do not touch frozen food with wet
hands. Your hands could stick to the
food and cause skin abrasions.
It is advisable to show the freezing-in
date on each individual pack to enable
you to keep tab of the storage time.
Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are
transferred from the foodstore to the
freezer in the shortest possible time.
Do n
not p
put c
carbonated lliquids ((fizzy
drinks, e
etc.) iin tthe ffreezing c
compartment
as tthey m
may b
burst.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates
rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
