FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD
Your domestic appliance enables you to freeze food, it lowers its core temperature
rapidly and you can therefore keep it longer.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic
freezing. The products you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
•
Caution ! Refrigerating appliance without 4 stars compartment are not suitable
for freezing foodstuffs.
PREPARING FOOD FOR FREEZING
Freezing does not sterilize. It is therefore important to observe some simple
hygiene rules when preparing your food for freezing: wash your hands before
you touch the food and clean the kitchen tools you have just used before using
them again.
Only freeze fresh, good quality food. Refer to the table "Food Freezing Guide" to know
which products you can freeze and how long you can keep them.
Blanch fruit and vegetables before freezing them to preserve their color, smell, taste
and vitamins: plunge them in boiling water for few moments.
Divide the food you wish to freeze into small individual portions corresponding to one
meal each. Small portions freeze quicker at their core.
Pack the food hermetically so that they do not lose their flavor or dry up. Use plastic
bags, polyethylene film, aluminum foil or special freezer containers for this. If you are
using plastic bags, compress them to eliminate the air before sealing them
hermetically.
