IMPORTANT: Do not expect your freezer to quick-

freeze any large quantity of food. Put no more

unfrozen food into the freezer than will freeze

within 24 hours. [No more than 2 to 3 pounds of

food per cubic foot of freezer space.) leave

enough

space for air to circulate around pack-

ages.

careful to leave enough room at the

front so the door can close tightly.

‘Based on U.S.D.A. and Michigan Cooperative

Extension Service suggested storage times.

If electricity goes off

Call the power company. Ask how long power

will be off

1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,

keep both doors closed. This will help frozen

foods to stay frozen.

2. If service is to be interrupted longer than 24

hours:

[a) Remove all frozen food and store in a

frozen food locker. Or...

(b] Place 2 Ibs (0.9 kg) of dry ice in freezer for

every cu. ft. of freezer space. This will keep

frozen foods for 2 to 4 days. Wear gloves to

protect your hands from dry ice burns.

(c] If neither food locker storage nor dry ice is

available, use or can perishable food at

once.

3. A full freezer will stay cold longerthan a partly

filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold

longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If

food contains ice crystals, it may be safely

refrozen, although the quality and flavor may

be affected. Use refrozen foods quickly. If the

condition of the food is poor or you have any

suspicions, it is wise to dispose of it.
