FROZEN STORAGE
The length of time that they will keep de-
pends on the type of foodstuff. (If frozen
foods are kept for longer than the maxi-
mum period allowed, their quality will dete-
riorate.)
PUTTING FOODS IN THE COOLING
CABINET / FREEZER
Allow warm foods and drinks to go cold
before putting them into the cooling cabi-
net.
Warm goods must not be put in to freeze.
They must become cold first before free-
zing.
Pack or cover the foodstuffs wherever
possible. This is the best way to conserve
their taste, moistness and freshness, and
to ensure that their taste is not transferred
to other foods.
Vegetables, fruit and salad can be kept in
the vegetable drawer without packing.
Foodstuffs must not be pushed against
the back wall of the cooling cabinet, be-
cause a gap for air circulation must be left
between the wall and the back edge of the
shelf.
It is best to arrange the foods in the coo-
ling cabinet according to the temperature
distribution there. In this way, the best
possible storage temperature for them is
assured.
(See the example of arrangement on p.
14.)
