HOW TO USE
Storing Frozen Food (continued)
Packaging
Successful freezing depends on correct
packaging. When you close and seal the
package, it must not allow air or moisture in or
out. If it does, you could have food odor and
taste transfer throughout the fridge and could
also dry out frozen food.
Packaging recommendations:
Rigid plastic containers with tight-fitting
y
lids
Straight-sided canning/freezing jars
y
Heavy-duty aluminum foil
y
Plastic-coated paper
y
Non-permeable plastic wraps
y
Specified freezer-grade self-sealing plastic
y
bags
Follow package or container instructions for
proper freezing methods.
Do not use
Bread wrappers
y
Non-polyethylene plastic containers
y
Containers without tight lids
y
Wax paper or wax-coated freezer wrap
y
Thin, semi-permeable wrap
y
Extra Space
The Extra Space compartments are slightly
cooler than the shelf or door bin areas, so they
are a convenient place to store dairy snacks or
other small items you want to keep especially
cold. They are also a handy place to defrost
meat.
Open and close by pulling the handle.
