Storage of frozen products
• Frozen products can be grouped together to leave free spaces
for freezing.
• When buying a frozen product, make sure that the packaging is
intact, that there is no trace of moisture, that it is not swollen,
which would be a sign of the start of thawing.
• Observe the shelf life indicated by the manufacturer of frozen
products.
• Avoid opening the door too often and only leave it open for as
long as necessary. Increasing the temperature can reduce the
shelf life of food.
Thawing
- Meats, poultry and fish must be thawed in the refrigerator to prevent
the growth of bacteria. Other products can be thawed in ambient air.
- Small portions can be cooked right out of the refrigerator. Many
ready-to-cook meals can also be cooked without prior thawing. Always
follow the recommendations on the packaging.
- Bread and pastries can be defrosted in a hot oven.
- Microwaves can be used to defrost most foods. ~ Follow the advice in
the instructions for these ovens.
In the event of a power failure, if the shutdown does not exceed
the value, there is no risk of spoilage of frozen food.
However, do not open the door (the time it takes for the
temperature to rise
can be significantly reduced if the device is lightly loaded). As
soon as you notice the onset of thawing, the food should be
eaten as quickly as possible. Never refreeze food that has been
thawed.
