TREEZING & STORING
TROZEN FOODS
The freezer section is designed for storage of
:ommercially frozen foods and for freezing foods
It home.
Packaglng - The secret of successful freezing is
n the packaging. The wrap you use must be air,
noisture and vapor proof. The way you close and
‘eal the package must not allow air, moisture or
‘apor in or out. Packaging done in any other way
:ould cause food odor and taste transfer through-
1u-t the refrigerator and drying of frozen food.
Rigid polyethylene (plastic) containers with
ightfitting lids, straight-sided canning/freezing
36 heavy-duty aluminum foil, plastic-coated pa-
Er and nonpermeable plastic wraps (made from
I Saran film] are recommended. NOTE: Heat-
#ealed bolllng bags are easy to use and can be
lsed by themselves or as carton Ilners.
Sealing - When sealing foods in bags squeeze
NI? the air (liquids need headspace to allow for
!xpansion). Twist the top and turn it back. Fasten tie
ecurely around the doubled-over tail. Put the
lbel inside transparent bags; use self-adhesive
Dbel on outside of opaque ones.
Air-tight wrapping calls for “drugstore” wrap. Cut
he sheet about one-third longerthan the distance
Iround the food. Bring the ends together and fold
n (toward the food) at least twice to seal out air.
Zrease ends close to food, press air from package.
:old tips over twice. Finish package and tape
:losed. NOTE: Wlth unboned meats, pad sharp
edges with extm wmp or use stockinette to pro-
‘ect the wrap tram punctures.
DO NOT USE:
l Bread wrappers
l Non-polyethylene plastic containers
l Containers without tight lids
l Waxed paper
0 Waxed-coated treezer wrap
l Thin, semi-permeable wrap
None of these are totally moisture, air or vapor
proof. The use of these wrapplngs could
cause food odor and taste tmnster and dry-
Ina ot frozen
food.
Freezlng Fruits - Select ripe, blemish-free fruits
Be sure they taste as good as they look. Wash 2 to :
quarts (liters) at a time and drain. Fruit that stands ir
water may lose food value and become soggy
Sort, peel, trim, pit and slice as needed.
Pack in rigid wide-mouthed containers or othe
recommended material. Leave head space tc
allow liquids to expand during freezing.
