Tips for shopping for frozen food
1. When buying frozen food, consult the Storage Guidelines on the
packaging. You will be able to store each item of frozen food for the
period shown against the star rating. This is usually the period stated
as "Best before×", found on the front of the packaging.
2. Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where
you buy frozen food.
3. Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect condition.
4. Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to
the supermarket.
5. Try to keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey
home, as this will help to keep the food cooler.
6. Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Specially
insulated bags can be bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep frozen foods cold longer.
7. For some food, thawing before cooking is unnecessary. Vegetables
and pasta can be added directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen
sauces and soups can be put into a saucepan and heated gently
until thawed.
8. Use quality food and handle it as little as possible. When food is
frozen in small quantities, it will take less time to freeze or thaw.
9. Estimate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large
amounts of fresh food, adjust the temperature control knob to the low
mode. With the freezer temperature lowered, foods can be frozen
quickly to maintain freshness.
How to use the ice-making box
Place the ice cube tray in the upper position of the freezer compartment, so
that it freezes as soon as possible.
