Freezing and storing food

Freezer calendar
The freezer calendar on the freezer
drawer shows the length of time in
months which various foods can be
stored for effectively when freshly
frozen.
Where the storage time given on the
packaging differs, follow the advice on
the packaging.

Defrosting
Frozen food can be defrosted in
different ways:
– in a microwave oven,
– in an oven using the "Fan" or
"Defrost" setting,
– at room temperature,
– in the refrigerator section (the cold
given off by the frozen food helps to
keep the other food cold),
– in a steam oven.
Flat pieces
of partially thawed meat or
fish can be placed directly into a hot
frying pan.
Thicker pieces
of meat and fish (e.g.
minced beef, chicken, fish fillet) should
not come into contact with other food
when defrosting. Collect the defrosting
liquid and then pour it away, making
sure you wash the container it was in,
the sink and your hands.
Fruit
should be defrosted at room
temperature in its packaging, or in a
covered bowl.
Most vegetables
can be cooked while
still frozen. Just put straight into boiling
water or hot fat. The cooking time is
slightly less than that of fresh
vegetables due to changes in the cell
structure.
Never refreeze partially or fully
defrosted food. Consume defrosted
food as soon as possible as it will
spoil if left for too long. Defrosted
food may only be refrozen after it has
been cooked.
