STORING AND FREEZING FOOD
Freezing and storing foods in the freezer
Important recommendations for freezing fresh food
•
The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is stated on the type
plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food into the freezer will slow the freezing
process and reduce the quality. Moreover, this will also harm the quality of frozen food
already stored in the freezer.
•
Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.
•
Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
•
Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
•
Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose its vitamins.
•
Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the date on which it
was frozen.
•
Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
Freezing large quantities of fresh food
•
The day before you want to freeze large amounts of fresh food at the same time, you can
set the thermostat knob to the lowest temperature setting. Set the thermostat knob to the
normal position when the food is frozen.
Important recommendations for storing frozen food
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of
the recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.
•
Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or
lower.
•
Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed
several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.
•
Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will
shorten the storage life and harm the quality of the food.
