5.5 Thawing food
EN
Thaw frozen food before being cooked. Follow the food manufacturer's instructions on
the packaging for food thawing.
WARNING: Thawed foods cannot be re-frozen. Consume quickly.
5.6 Hints for freezing and storing frozen food
To obtain the best performance, observe the followings.
•
The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added
during this period;
•
Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly 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 tin foil or polythene 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 latter.
•
Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of
food;
•
Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment,
can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
•
It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to
keep tab of the storage time.
•
Be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the
shortest possible time.
•
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be re-frozen.
•
Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
•
Do not store bottled drink in the freezer compartment to prevent burst or other losses.
