frozen food and energy saving tips.
Hints for Frozen Food
■ Only freeze top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foods.
■ Store food in small portions for quick and thorough defrosting and reduce waste.
■ Wrap food in aluminium foil or plastic ensuring it is airtight.

temperature rise in the latter.

the freezer compartment, can cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
■ Lean foods store better and for longer than fatty foods.
■ Salt reduces the storage life of food.

you open the door.
