▯
Spread out the food over a wide area in the freezer
compartment.
▯
Do not bring food which is to be frozen into contact
with frozen food.
If necessary, re-stack frozen food in the freezer
compartment.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze only fresh and undamaged food.
Food which is boiled, fried or baked is more suitable for
freezing than food which is raw.
Before freezing food, make preparations appropriate to
the food in order to retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour:
▯
Vegetables: wash, chop, blanch.
▯
Fruit: wash, pit and perhaps peel, possibly add
sugar or ascorbic acid solution.
Information on how to do this can be found in the
relevant literature.
