Choose packs carefully: Make sure the frozen food package is in perfect
condition.
Purchase frozen food last.: Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip
or visit to the supermarket.
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.
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. 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.
Using the freezer compartment
1.
The appliance may not function properly (contents may defrost or the
temperature in the freezer compartment may become too warm) if it is left
for a prolonged period below the cold end of the temperature range for which
the refrigerator is designed.
2.
Internal temperatures may be affected by factors such as the location of the
refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of door opening, and, where
appropriate, a warning that the setting of any temperature control device may
need to be varied to take these factors into account.
3.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezers or refrigerators and
some products, such as water ice, should not be consumed too cold.
