Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process there are
some important hints:
• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food
to be frozen should be added during the period .
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned
foodstuffs .
• Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be
rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible
subsequently to thaw only the quantity required
• Wrap up the food in polythene and make sure that
packages are airtight;
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which
is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of
the latter .
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt
reduces the storage life of food .
• Blocks of ice, if consumed immediately after removal
from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the
skin to be freeze burnt .
• It is advisable to show the freezing date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time .
