Freezing and storing foods in the freezer
Important recommendations for freezing fresh food
•
The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type
plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing
process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also harm the quality of frozen food already
stored in the freezer.
•
Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.
•
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
•
Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
•
Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.
•
Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it was
frozen.
•
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
