HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
HINTS FOR FREEZING
To help you make the most of the freezing
process, here are some important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which can
be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rat-
ing plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No
further food to be frozen should be add-
ed during this period;
• only freeze top quality, fresh and thor-
oughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• 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 pol-
ythene 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 lat-
ter;
• lean foods store better and longer than
fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
