·Leave cooked food to cool completely.
·Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if possible.
·Consider how you want to cook the food before freezing it.
·Don’t freeze food in metal containers as you may want to microwave it straight from the Freezer.
·Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer film, polythene bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for
acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use used food containers (unless cleaned thoroughly first).
·Exclude as much air from the container as possible. You could buy a special vacuum pump which sucks excessive air out
of the packaging.
·Leave a small amount of “air space” when freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
·You can use the space in the Freezer most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids with liquids, such as stew) in square
blocks.
This is known as “performing” Pour the liquid into a polythene bag which is inside a square sided container.
Freeze it like this, then remove it from the container and seal the bag.
