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 Freezer, 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 Freezer.
·Use special Freezer bags available from supermarkets, Freezer 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 (unless cleaned 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 Freezer 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.

The grille of the condenser at the back of the Fridge/Freezer and the adjacent components can be
vacuumed using a soft brush attachment.
