Hints
Freezing of fresh food and storage of frozen food
¥ 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 aluminium foil or polythene
and make sure that the 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.
¥ Do not touch frozen food with wet hands. Your
hands could stick to the food and cause skin
abrasions.
¥ It is advisable to show the freezing-in date on each
individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the
storage time.
¥ Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from
the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible
time.
¥ Do not put carbonated liquids (fizzy drinks,
etc.) in the freezing compartment as they may
burst.
¥ Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and
cannot be refrozen.
