Practical advice on freezing
·
When freezing products, use the top shelf, and if
necessary the shelf beneath as this is the coldest
part.
·
Place the foods directly on the freezer shelves.
·
Spread out the products as much as possible to
allow air to circulate between them.
·
Do not place food products which are to be
frozen directly against other frozen food.
The heat from the unfrozen food may cause
the frozen food to thaw on the surface.
·
Once frozen, re-arrange the products and put
them as close as possible to each other.
The food will then stay cold longer in the
event of a power failure.
