as quickly as possible, or refreeze them after cooking them (once they have
cooled down).

how they are used before freezing.
USEFUL ADVICE
Advice for freezing
For best results, here is some important advice:
■
Only freeze high-quality, fresh foodstuffs (once cleaned).
■
For quicker and more uniform freezing, prepare the food in small batches
according to the volume.
■
Wrap food in aluminium foil or in plastic pouches, and make sure the packaging
is air-tight.
■
Do not allow fresh, non-frozen food to touch food that is already frozen in order
to avoid them from rising in temperature.
■
Leaner foods keep better and for longer than fatty foods. Salt reduces the storage
life of food.
■
It is important to mark packaging correctly: indicate the date on which the
product was frozen and stick to the storage period stated by the manufacturer.
Advice for storing frozen store-bought products
■
To properly store frozen store-bought products, you must:
– make sure that they have been correctly kept at the store;
– set aside a small minimum window of time to transport them from the food
store to your home;
– avoid opening the freezer too often and do not leave it open for longer than
necessary.
■
Once unfrozen, the food spoils quickly and cannot be refrozen.
■
Stick to the storage period stated by the manufacturer.
■
Do not touch frozen products coming out of the freezer with wet hands, as this is
likely to cause skin abrasions or burns.
■
Do not put bottles or cans of carbonated drinks in the freezer compartment, as
the pressure that builds up inside the container is likely to cause it to explode and
damage the appliance.
■
Do not consume certain products such as ice lollies as soon as they come out of
the freezer, as they could cause burns.
