Check
the
Fridge/Refrigerator
temperature
Check the temperature of the frozen food
cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen
foods. It should show a temperature lower than
-18℃.
Choose packs carefully
Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect
condition.
Purchase frozen food last
Always buy frozen products last on your
shopping trip or visit to the supermarket.
Keep frozen foods together
Try to keep frozen food together whilst
shopping, and on the journey home as this will
help to keep the food cooler.
Store food straight away
Don't buy frozen food unless you can freeze it
straight away. Special insulated bags can be
bought from most supermarkets and hardware
shops. These keep frozen food cold for longer.
Thawing frozen food
For some foods, thawing before cooking is
unnecessary. Vegetables and pasta can be
added directly to boiling water or steam cooked.
Frozen sauces and soups can be put into a
saucepan and heated gently until thawed.
FREEZING FRESH FOODS, USEFUL
TIPS
Use quality food and handle it as little as
possible. Freeze food in small quantities, it
freezes faster, takes less time to thaw and
enables you to eat it in the quantity you need.
Freezing fresh foods
First, estimate the amount of food you will be
freezing. If you are freezing large amounts of
fresh food, remember to turn the control dial to
Max. This will lower the temperature in the
Refrigerator (approx -30℃), freezing your food
quicker and helping to keep the goodness in.
However you should do this sparingly to
conserve energy.
Preparations for freezing
• Leave cooked food to cool completely.
• Chill food in a Fridge before freezing if
possible.
• Consider how you want to cook the food
before freezing it.
• Don't freeze food in metal containers as you
may want to microwave it straight from the
Refrigerator.
• Use special Refrigerator bags available from
supermarkets, Refrigerator film, polythene
bags, plastic containers, aluminum foil for
acidic foods(such as citrus fruits).
Do not use thin cling film or glass. Do not use
used
food
containers
thoroughly first).
• Exclude as much air from the container as
possible. You could buy a special vacuum
pump which sucks excessive air out of the
packaging.
• Leave a small amount of "air space" when
freezing liquids, to allow for expansion.
• You can use the space in the Refrigerator
most efficiently if you freeze liquids(or solids
with liquids, such as stew) in square blocks.
This is known as "performing" Pour the liquid
into a polythene bag which is inside a square
sided container. Freeze it like this, then remove
it from the container and seal the bag.
